Location services and how they work

How the monitoring centre can identify where you are when you need help.

Location services help identify where you are during an alert. This can be especially helpful if you're away from home.

How it works

  • Emergency alerts and calls connect over cellular.
  • Depending on the device, location may be determined using GPS and other signals.
  • Some devices may use nearby Wi-Fi signals only to improve location accuracy.

If your location looks inaccurate

  • Move to an area with clearer sky view (outdoors) when possible.
  • Give the operator any helpful details about your location.
  • Confirm your home address and unit number are correct in your profile.

If you want to update your address or emergency contacts, email support@holoalert.ca.
