ERSS
EXTENSION OF ERSS (DIAL 112) FOR DISASTER EMERNGENCIES
Emergency Response Support System (ERSS) is a Pan-India single number (112) based emergency response system for citizens in emergencies. Citizens can request help through Voice Call, SOS, SMS, Email, Web Request and Panic buttons on a mobile app to request for immediate assistance pertaining to events related to Police assistance, Fire, Ambulance, Women protection, Child safety. Currently ERSS does not support emergency calls related to Disasters. The ERSS is not integrated with the SEOCs and Disaster Responders.
In order to implement the vision of honorable PM for a Single Distress Number for all emergencies across the country, NDMA has conceived the Project Extension of ERSS (Dial 112) for Disaster Emergencies, which shall extend the present ERSS system to cater for Disaster Emergencies.
Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (CDAC) has been nominated to implement the Scheme. The MoU for this Project has been signed with CDAC and Work order issued on 02 Aug 2021. The Project is extended up to 31.03.2024. The Scheme is completely funded by NDMA.
