I'm OK! Helps You Quickly Notify Many People In Case of Emergency [Webapp]

Adam Dachis ?I'm OK! Helps You Quickly Notify Many People In Case of EmergencyI'm OK! is a web and mobile app that helps you quickly notify many people that you're "OK" or you need help. All it takes is a text message and a hash tag or two to convey the important information you need to get across.

Once you sign up for I'm OK! you'll add your emergency contacts and receive a verification text message from a phone number you'll want to save. In an emergency situation, you'll send a text message to that number and your contacts will be notified almost immediately. The message can be anything you want, but sending #imok or #needhelp will register the correct status with the I'm OK! service and be more useful. Additionally, you can use the #loc hash tag to send latitude and longitude coordinates along with your message in case you need someone to come find you. Hopefully you won't ever have to actually use this service, but in times of disaster it could be very helpful.

I'm OK! works from pretty much any phone via SMS, but you can also download an app for Blackberry (see the instructions on their site).
