Rapid Response

and Rapid Attack Response. The idea is to create an alert key on the
application that when pressed, the application will automatically send out
relevant information to key people to get quick or rapid response to an
accident scene or in case of farm attack or housebreak. To make this app
more powerful, Near Field Technology (NFC) technology. A pre-programmed
tag(key ring, armband, NFC sticker or tag) that can be placed in the vehicle
or in the house, and the phone can be swiped over the tag to send out the
same alert automatically. This can be a helpful en highly beneficial feature
to gain access to assistance as well. NOTE the phone must have NFC
technology for the tag to send out an alert. Rapid Response have an
