📢 IMPORTANT UPDATE: Smart911 is being discontinued at Barry County 911.

For many years, Smart911 has provided Barry County residents with a way to share important information with our telecommunicators before an emergency ever happens. As technology continues to evolve, so do the tools available to 911.

Barry County Central Dispatch will be discontinuing our use of Smart911 and transitioning residents to other options that work with the technology already utilized in our 911 center.
If you currently have a Smart911 profile, we encourage you to create a FREE Emergency Health Profile at https://www.emergencyprofile.org.

The Emergency Health Profile allows you to provide important information such as medical conditions, allergies, medications/medical notes, emergency contacts and other information that may be helpful during an emergency. When you call 911 from the registered phone number, that information can be made available to our telecommunicators through RapidSOS, a platform already used by Barry County 911.
