So your monthly alert allowance is counted correctly, enter your name and mobile number. This stays on your phone.
Turn on these three permissions so CCN can find you, alert you, and (if you choose) record audio during an alert. You can send an alert even if any permission is denied.
The home-screen icon is the fastest way to reach help. It opens CCN straight to the red button — it does not send an alert by itself, and holding the phone's icon triggers the phone's own menu, not an alert. Always open the button, then hold.
CCN is a community safety tool and does not replace 911. For an immediate life-threatening emergency, call 911 first.
