OnStar Provides All Services to All Subscribers Affected, Regardless of Plan


DETROIT – OnStar reminds its subscribers in Southeast Texas that a simple push of the OnStar button in GM vehicles will put them in contact with specially-trained Crisis Advisors. OnStar’s Crisis Assist capabilities include specially trained Crisis Advisors, who will help with:

GPS Positioning: Contact emergency responders if needed and direct them to the subscriber’s location, using OnStar’s embedded cellular calling system and Global Positioning System (GPS) satellite technology, which pinpoint a subscriber’s location when he or she contacts an advisor.
Emergency Services Notification: Inform appropriate public safety officials when a subscriber contacts OnStar about someone in need of emergency assistance.
Emergency Calls: Connect subscribers to loved ones, family and friends.
Emergency Directions : Provide real time crisis information and centralized assistance for food, water, shelter locations and hotel accommodations along with information on road closures, power outages, and weather updates.
“When fires, hurricanes, floods, or tornadoes affect our customers, OnStar opens its services to all affected subscribers,” said Scott Kubicki, Vice President, OnStar Subscriber Services . “ Southeast Texas residents are encouraged to press the OnStar button on their GM vehicle for information about the storm, shelter information and routing.”

"Emergency Directions: Provide real time crisis information and centralized assistance for food water, shelter".

Where else, but in the USA, the priority list would be start with FOOD and end with HOTEL?

Should provide address to the nearest cardiac bypass surgeon while at it...

You know, for all the crap I have to deal with my CTS, which is in the shop yet again, (8 times), OnStar is a very competent system, now with bluetooth connectivity, its even better.

I could see that being very useful. Not everyone has a hard land line to use and people without power or in need of a place to stay can just push the button and get a hotel and directions without having to flip through books, stop at every place along the way, etc. They can concentrate on keeping themselves an others safe.
