Purpose Statement
This article explains how users can add, manage, and edit multiple addresses within the Community Connect platform. This feature allows users to maintain accurate location information for multiple properties or residences, improving response accuracy and ensuring emergency services have the most relevant data available.
Background Information
Community Connect enables residents to provide critical information to first responders. In many cases, users may need to associate more than one address with their profile (e.g., primary residence, vacation home, or business location). This feature allows users to easily add and manage multiple addresses while ensuring that updates are reviewed and approved by the agency administrator for accuracy and compliance.
Required Permissions
- Community Connect registered user account
- Access to the My Info tile
- Permission to edit personal profile information
Note: Address additions and edits require administrator approval before becoming active.
