Logic to generate emergency notification frames comprising a beacon frame, a probe response frame, and a probe request frame, wherein each of the emergency notification frames comprise a user info element, the user info element comprising a user location field, the user location field comprising a value to identify a current geolocation of the device. Logic to scan multiple channels of one or more bands for communications associated with access point (AP) stations (STAs) to identify active channels. Logic to repeatedly cause transmission of the emergency notification frames for a predetermined time period on each of the active channels, wherein presence of the user info element in each of the three emergency notification frames is a signal for a recipient STA to invoke an emergency notification protocol to cause the recipient STA to retransmit user information in the user info element in a subsequent emergency notification message.
