Sending signals for help during an emergency event

Abstract:

A method for requesting help during an emergency event using a client device. The client device shows live video of the emergency event and provides a GUI element (e.g., panic button) in the GUI after receiving an input such as a touch gesture or keyboard input from the user. The user may select the button in the GUI to simultaneously request help from emergency services and neighbors. The request for help includes a link to view the live video.
