Gadsden EMS Introduces Advanced Technology for Driver Alerts

December 3, 2024 - 10:35

Gadsden County Emergency Services is enhancing road safety with the implementation of Haas Alert's Safety Cloud across its fleet. This innovative technology aims to alert drivers when emergency vehicles are responding to incidents, encouraging them to move over and reduce the risk of accidents.

The Safety Cloud system utilizes connected vehicle technology to send real-time notifications to nearby drivers through their navigation apps. As emergency vehicles approach, alerts will be transmitted, providing crucial information to motorists and giving them time to safely change lanes or slow down.

This initiative is part of a broader effort to improve safety for both emergency responders and the public. By integrating this advanced system, Gadsden EMS hopes to minimize the dangers associated with roadside emergencies, where first responders are often at risk from passing vehicles.

The adoption of this technology marks a significant step forward in ensuring safer roadways and protecting those who serve in emergency situations.
