The service follows the established principles used every day in aviation
to keep passengers and crew safe. Here a "Flight Plan" is filed before a plane leaves, this gives details where the plane
is intending to go and how long it should take.
It can be updated by radio reports during the journey if required.
If for some reason the plane does not reach its intended destination within a pre-set time,
search and rescue are alerted, and provided with details from the flight plan.
AMBERresponse is similar in the way it works, but far simpler to use.
On the web you define an ALERT, showing details of who to contact in an emergency.
The ALERT is then started and controlled by you, using text messages from your mobile phone.
In the event that you do not confirm your safety by the appointed time,
your emergency contacts are notified and given access to your ALERT details.
