Citizen Network

Safety is a concern of all citizens. For the first time there is an international public safety mobile app that share help, emergency and disaster information and to improve communication. The PubSafe app was created as a result of multiple natural disasters in the USA. It quickly became apparent that people want to help others. PubSafe facilitates people helping people daily with little things like running out of gas on the highway, to removing a tree, rescuing animals or savings people during a disaster. The more users posting and sharing, the better the community response. The app requires cellular data service. Emergency Officials may not monitor the app or reports. Always call 911 first.

First request should always be 911 or emergency services. first and Then post to PubSafe.

Amazing tool for managing crowd sourced assistance and rescues
Flaperson

App provides a way to organize and manage crowd sourced rescue efforts after natural disasters. It can also be used for routine help such as road assistance. Many, many options available for organizing and managing crowd sourced assistance. Mapping options make it easy to identify the location of citizen responders as well as those that are requesting assistance. Great tool for those that want to provide assistance but do not know how or where to go to be of assistance

Seemed ok, but then. . .

Had this app for a month or so. Until last night, the weather notification piece worked well, giving timely local updates. Last night, at 2:14 am, I got some 20 notifications about severe thunderstorms in Oklahoma. Problem is, I’m in Florida. Since I can’t trust the app, I deleted the app.

The perfect app for anyone who wants to be prepared in the event of a disaster.

I downloaded the PubSafe app in case of a natural disaster. Communication is the greatest tool for survival in the event of the worst. PubSafe seems to be well designed and I would trust it in the event that I need to use it.

This application has the potential to be a game changer in the sense that we now have a way to connect the government, local Emergency Management, NGOs, SAR, Relief Aid, and citizens in the path of disasters. Once the application use hits critical mass this tool will be invaluable to everyone connected in the Humanitarian sector. It’s been a long time coming and I’m so grateful someone with the skillset finally launched it.

Innovative Search & Rescue Tool

A functional tool that is quick and easy for anyone to use - any age, any tech skill level - to both request and lend services in times of need. Quick and simple to drop your location and a request for help. A great variety of situations in which this app can be used. Spreading the word and getting more on board with the app will only make it that much more effective - and will get you and your family/friends the help they might need.
