Abstract: A system for speeding response time to a telephone request for emergency assistance. The system passively monitors all dialing from the particular premises and responds to dialing of predesignated emergency numbers by activating an indicator such as a strobe light or a flashing lamp visible at some distance from the premises to positively identify the location of the emergency and attract relief personnel arriving into the area.
