Good info Shirl..thanks for posting it....


In regards to the Rec Centers and the land lines...it is good to notify them of an emergency and they can call 911....this will help the dispatchers know exactly where to send the crews...HOWEVER....a cell phone or magic jack will work just fine.

I corresponded with Chief Tucker this afternoon.

He said that ANY cell phone or VOIP (ie magic jack) phone will come to the local 911 operator. Tell them where you are and as much information as you can. The EMT's, fire department, etc... here in TV's are one of a kind and respond in record time!

It is amazing how many people forget where they are within TV's. If you are out for an evening or during the day....take a moment to know where you are....what golf course, what rec center or pool. If you are at a friends...make sure you know what Village you are in....
I know this sounds like common sense...but you would be amazed at how many people forget...

GPS:
Regardless of whether your phone has GPS on it or not, TV's does not have the capability to be find the signal just yet....however as I state earlier....IT IS COMING SOON!!!! YEAH!!
