Alexa Emergency Assist is a new way to get help in your house.

You can identify emergency contacts for your Echo to call if something goes wrong, or ask Alexa for assistance, and the new $5.99-a-month service will connect you to someone who can help. Smart idea for a new product, especially built into a device you can shout at from across the room!
