Abstract
The invention concerns a method of sending an emergency message, particularly the improvement of such methods. It is known in the state of the art to automatically transmit emergency messages to a remote station in case of an emergency situation, and/or an attempt is made to establish voice contact with the persons who are affected by the emergency. Since it is possible that the sound detection devices 17 and/or the sound emission devices 12 are damaged during an emergency situation, eliminating at least partially any advantageous communication with the remote station, the need exists to provide a method which uses any devices that are still operative after an emergency to optimally receive a communication. This objective is achieved in that after the emergency a test is performed to find out if at least one sound detection device 17 and/or at least one sound emission device 12 is still able to operate, and the result of the test is transmitted to the remote station in addition to the emergency message. This ensures that the remote station is informed of the condition of the sound emission 12 or the sound detection devices 17. This information enables the remote station to use the still available devices for a useful communication.
