Introduce a text service for emergency services for when voice calls aren't safe
A text service is needed for when emergency services are required but it isn't safe to make sound. An example of this situation would be a terror attack or home break in where a person would have to hide for their safety. A voice call to 999 would attract attention from the attacker, a text is safer

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
A service like this already exists:
http://www.emergencysms.org.uk/
It is supported by the UK Government and the emergency services, among others.
If you would like the Government to take a different action - perhaps to take steps to promote this service so that more people are aware of it - you could start a petition about that.
