GEOS Global Emergency Monitoring (GEM) is a set of features that are fundamental to the patented GEOS System and which provides the delivery mechanism for providing timely information and warnings if an event of a health- or life-threatening nature occurs in the region where a member happens to be traveling. 
GEM also monitors for member-originated Emergency Alerts.

This service consists of two key service strands. These are:

• Critical Intelligence Alerts - information about any event of a life-threatening nature, whether of natural or man-made origin, occurring anywhere in the World, will be communicated to members currently travelling in that region for whom there is a risk that they may be affected. The GEOS Command & Control Center monitors the location of all GEOS members with membership levels of Secure Traveler, Global Traveler or Pegasus thus enabling GEOS to instantly notify all those travelers that may be affected by the particular event. Messages are sent by SMS & email direct to any GSM cellphone or Blackberry with every transaction of time sent, time acknowledged, time resent etc. being electronically audited. These are also called Class 1 Alerts.
• Member Distress Monitoring - this service strand is available to all Global Traveler and GEOS Pegasus members however a GEOS-approved GPS GSM cellphone is required in order to fully access this service.
  Members without a GPS phone may call the GEOS EMERGENCY HOTLINE number (see below) but should note that the service may be impaired because the Watch Officer will not have instant access to your GPS coordinates.

Global Emergency Monitoring is further facilitated by the following resources:

• 24/7 International GEOS Emergency Response Center and Operations Room  - this resource is dedicated to supporting our initiation of Critical Intelligence Alerts and to responses to incoming Member Distress Alerts. The Response Center is operated by GEOS Guidry Response - the new partnership between GEOS and the Guidry Group
• 24/7 GEOS Emergency Hotline Number - All GEOS Global Traveler and GEOS Pegasus members have inclusive access to a 24/7 GEOS Emergency Hotline for use if the Member does not have a GEOS GPS phone with an ALERT button AND only in an urgent and life-threatening situation .

PLEASE NOTE that deliberate OR negligent misuse of this resource will attract a False Alarm Charge of US$100. Please be aware that misuse of this service may endanger the lives of genuine users.
