Whether you're at home, on a farm, in an apartment, or at the office, one press connects you to everyone nearby who can help.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
INSTANT EMERGENCY ALERTS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Hold the alert button for one second to send an emergency alert. Choose the type that fits your situation:
- Fire
- Criminal Activity
- Medical Emergency
- General Danger

Everyone within your chosen radius is notified immediately, with a direct link to navigate straight to your location.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SILENT WHEN IT MATTERS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Sending an alert is completely silent on your own device — no sound that could give away your position if you're hiding from danger. A discreet vibration confirms your alert was sent. The people receiving it get a loud, clear notification so they can respond fast.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
ALERTS THAT REACH PEOPLE
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
AlertGrid uses push notifications that reach your community even when their phones are locked and the app is closed. An emergency alert won't sit unseen.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
FAMILY MEMBERS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Add family members as trusted contacts. They receive your alerts no matter how far away they are — distance is no barrier when it's someone you love.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
LIVE LOCATION DURING EMERGENCIES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
When you trigger a Live Location emergency alert, AlertGrid can continue sharing your live, moving location with your pre-approved family members — even if your phone is locked or the app is closed. This is designed for situations where you can no longer interact with your phone yourself, such as a medical emergency or an abduction, so your family can find you. A notification stays visible on your device the entire time this is active, and it stops the moment you resolve the alert. Only your own accepted family members can see this — never the wider community or any other user.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SET YOUR OWN RADIUS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Choose whether you want to be notified about events within 1 km, 5 km, or 10 km of your location. You're in control of how much of your community you watch over.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
COMMUNITY GROUPS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Create or join community groups with a simple invite code. Coordinate with your neighbourhood watch, your street, or your estate. Group chat keeps everyone informed, with automatic filtering of offensive language to keep conversations respectful.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
LIVE MAP
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
See active alerts on a live satellite map. Tap any alert to navigate directly to the person who needs help.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
STAY IN CONTROL
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
- Block any member who misuses the system
- Alerts are rate-limited to prevent spam and false alarms
- Your data is encrypted in transit and protected with strict access controls
- Delete your account and all your data at any time, directly in the app

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
BUILT FOR EVERYONE
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Full support for English and Afrikaans.
