What is Community Connect?
Community Connect is a portal in our First Due reporting software that allows Easton residents and business owners to upload pertinent information about building and business occupants and their needs in the event of an emergency. This may include emergency contact information, relevant fire alarm system components and their locations as well special hazards such as oxygen cylinders that may be stored within the property. This information can be invaluable to first responders when they are notified of an emergency at the address.
Who can access the information and/or update the information?
When creating an account within the system, a user will only be able to access the information that they provide. Easton Fire Department personnel can access the information when responding to emergencies dispatched at the address. Subsequent property owners/registered users will have no access to the information that is entered by previous owners/users.
How does the Fire Department use my information?
When an emergency (Fire Alarm, Building Fire, etc.) is dispatched an alert is received through our mobile response system listing the incident address. This information is available in each piece of Fire Apparatus in the city. When residents and/or business owners provide information through the Community Connect portal, it ensures that the additional information provided to our responders is up to date and accurate. This can expedite access to business and residential properties to mitigate emergencies before additional damage, injury, or even deaths occur.
