Boston, Mass., June 8, 2016 – In an uncertain world, keeping family members safe and in touch is a top priority. Global Rescue, the leading provider of integrated medical, security, intelligence, travel risk and crisis management services to enterprises, governments and individuals, today introduced the My Global Rescue Mobile App, a suite of powerful new tools to help Global Rescue members stay in touch and protect their families – at home or anywhere in the world.

The My Global Rescue App connects people to vital medical, security, and rescue resources. From family members traveling abroad who are suddenly separated from each other, to a student caught in a political uprising in a foreign country, or a business traveler with chest pains in Asia, the My Global Rescue Mobile App provides access to essential help in an emergency.

“There is nothing more important than being able to locate and communicate with those you care about in an emergency,” said Global Rescue CEO and founder Dan Richards. “The My Global Rescue Mobile App provides a very effective way to see where your loved ones are in real time and communicate with them at touch of a button, whether you’re traveling or not.”

The My Global Rescue Mobile App provides immediate access to:

  • GEO-Fence Tracking & Alerts – See where your family members are in real time. Create a geo-fence around a designated area and be notified when family members arrive or leave that area.
  • GPS-Enabled Safety Check-in – In an emergency, or if you’re separated from your family, use the GPS-enabled check-in feature of My Global Rescue to let them know you’re safe.
  • Family In-App Messaging – Stay in touch no matter where you are by connecting with family members using in-app messages.
  • One-Touch Emergency Assistance – Press the Emergency button and be connected immediately with Global Rescue operations center personnel, who can identify you and your location and respond to your call. Using your GPS coordinates, Global Rescue can deploy emergency response services to your exact location.
  • Destination Reports & Event Alerts – Receive real time insights into changing events and issues, along with detailed information on medical and security threats in over 200 countries – updated continuously.

My Global Rescue is available at no cost to all Global Rescue members from Google Play or the App Store.
