A free, self-hosted alerting and situational awareness platform for small and rural emergency management agencies. Post updates, alert staff by email and SMS, and give your agency a shared live view of what's happening, built to replace tools like Everbridge, CodeRED, and WebEOC where the budget for them was never there.
Public Works responding. Expect pressure loss in the area through this evening.
2–4 inches expected overnight. Plan for slick roads during the morning commute.
All department liaisons expected. Sign-in at the front desk.
Commercial mass-notification platforms are priced for large jurisdictions with dedicated budgets, not a two-person emergency management office.
Everything below ships in the same free release, nothing is a paid tier.
One field, one click. Immediately posts an Urgent update, emails your distribution list, and texts your SMS alert list, all at once.
Automatic alerts on urgent posts via any SMTP provider and Twilio, with a separate opt-in list for routine updates.
A large-font, no-login view built for a wall-mounted TV, auto-refreshing, with live weather and radar built in.
Full staff accounts for posting and admin, plus an optional shared read-only password for partner agencies or the public.
NOAA forecast, NEXRAD radar loop, and space weather conditions, configured for your exact location.
Nothing is ever silently destroyed. A "deleted" update is recoverable, not gone, and a permanent, admin-only audit log tracks every delete, restore, and purge.
CSRF protection, rate limiting, security headers, hardened sessions, audited for public-internet exposure, not just internal use.
