Check this out. People are proposing a “craigslist” style 911 system for people to post emergencies to. Post your video, post your pics from your camera phone, post your name and number for contact, yada yada, firemen and SWAT are on their way.

I sincerely hope that we don’t have to rely on the internet for all of our emergency stuff. What if some terrorists decide to wipe out a few key central servers? We’d be screwed.
