Speaking of hosting, do you have family members staying with you for the holidays?  They can create a Smart911 profile, too!  Because it’s a nationwide application, you don’t need to live in North Andover to sign up. If you call 911 in any community in the nation that supports Smart911, the 9-1-1 system will recognize your phone number and the call taker’s screen will automatically display the information you have chosen to provide in your profile.  Smart911 is free, private and secure.
