Overview
The RapidSOS Account registry is a multifunctional tool used for both accounting and emergency call direction for our School Safety Solution. Your organization is fully responsible for maintaining records - inclusive of inserts, updates, and deletions.
All payload formats must match the specifications below, failure to do so may result in improper accounting.
At any time an update occurs for a URI, all variables need to be sent again
Best Practice is to update end users within the RapidSOS Account Registry when they begin or terminate service automatically.

BOLDED FIELDS- optional routing structure

RapidSOS understands that some jurisdictions may work closely with their local schools and provide them a specific phone number to dial in the event of an emergency. While this is on a jurisdiction by jurisdiction basis, RapidSOS has made the ability for our clients to provide a specific ECC phone number for our Safety Agents to call:
-
If your organization plans to provide a specific ECC phone number, all three fields are required to ensure delivery of both a phone call and your digital alert to the appropriate ECC:
- FCC ID:
- The FCC ID is an ECC’s unique identifier provided by the Federal Communications Center. A link to the master Registry can be found below.
- 911 Master Registry for ECC IDs
- Please note that RapidSOS does not manage this list, but requires the FCC ID be provided at the time of onboarding should you use to utilize the specific phone number.
- 911 Master Registry for ECC IDs
- The FCC ID is an ECC’s unique identifier provided by the Federal Communications Center. A link to the master Registry can be found below.
- RESPONDING PSAP NAME
- Can be identified via the 911 Master Registry for ECC IDs
- PREFERRED PSAP NUMBER

- FCC ID:

If you choose to utilize this optional routing structure, all three fields are required (FCC ID, Responding PSAP Name, and Responding PSAP Number) to ensure that a RapidSOS Safety Agent calls and sends a digital alert to the same ECC.
If a specific ECC is not provided, a pre-vetted third party database will be consulted, the closest geographic ECC to the alarm location will be connected.
