A tool for emergency assistance unique for France was presented on Wednesday in Nice. 15 emergency call terminals will be installed in important traffic locations in the city on the French riviera. They will be facilitating urgent action and will decrease reaction time in case of accidents or in dangerous situations. The devices allow witnesses of an emergency to instantly call for help and explain what is going on in the fastest way possible.
Using the device is exceptionally easy: you only need to press a button to activate the terminal and then press it again to get connected with a local police officer to explain the circumstances. The calling terminal's location, as well as nearby security cameras, are located automatically by officials. Instructions on how to use the tool are provided in French, English and Mandarin.
Christian Estrosi, Mayor of Nice, President of the Nice Côte d´Azur Metropolis, Deputy President of the Provence- Alpes- Côte d´Azur region attended the inauguration of the first emergency terminal at the corner of streets Mdecin and Italie. He shared the video below:
