Reach your residents without asking them to sign up first
Residents are already here for the weather, local news, events, and high school sports. When you publish a notice or issue an evacuation order, it lands where they already are. There is no list to build and no app for anyone to install.
Publishing is free forever. Verified entities only.

Every notification system has the same problem
They need residents to enroll, or to download an app that does one thing everybody hopes never happens. So the list ends up covering a fraction of households, and the wrong fraction: it skews older, more settled, and already engaged, and misses renters, young families, and anyone who never saw the sign-up card.
Nobody installs us for notifications. They install us for the forecast and the weekend, and the alert rides along. Ask us how many residents of your county we already reach. We will tell you before you sign anything, and if the number is not good enough yet we will say so.
The tools your public information work actually needs
Built for cities, counties, towns, fire districts, libraries, utilities, parks and recreation districts, and law enforcement agencies. Use what fits and skip the rest.
One place residents already check
Everything you have to put somewhere findable, on a site people visit for other reasons. It costs your office nothing to publish and costs residents nothing to read.
- Official newsAnnouncements and updates under your entity byline, on a site locals already read.
- Notices boardLegal notices, ordinances, agendas, minutes, job postings, RFPs, and bids, with documents attached. Every one gets a public link you can share anywhere.
- Meetings and eventsCouncil and board meetings, hearings, and community events on the local calendar.
- Preparedness and resourcesGuides, shelters, cooling centers, and distribution points residents can find before they need them.
Alerts that find the people near them
Post a closure, an advisory, or an evacuation notice and nearby residents are notified on their own. No call list to maintain, and no alerting contract to buy.
- Safety alertsRoad closures, advisories, and evacuation notices. Nearby residents are notified automatically, with no call list to maintain.
- On the apps people already haveiPhone and Android. Free, and there is no list a resident has to join first.
- Alerts that break throughThe highest urgency tier reaches a phone that is set to silent. Life safety is never gated on whether you pay us.
- Report an issuePotholes, outages, and downed signs land in one inbox your staff can work through instead of scattered calls.
Run it the way your entity is actually organised
Set up your departments and each office gets its own page, its own team, and only the tools that office needs. Public works posts road closures and gets the pothole reports. Only emergency management can issue a life safety alert.
- Verified profileA public page that shows residents the source really is you, collecting everything you publish.
- Team accountsRoles for staff, so nobody shares a login. Anyone signing up with your official email domain connects to your entity automatically.
- DepartmentsEach office gets its own page, its own team, and only the tools that office needs. The clerk posts ordinances. Only public safety sends an emergency alert.
- Activity logWho published what, who approved it, and when.

Where your residents already are
Your alerts land on the regional emergency hub and your county page the moment you publish, and any resident can read every word of it in Spanish.
- Read in SpanishEvery page and every notice, at no charge, for any resident who needs it.
- On the regional hubYour alerts appear on the emergency map and your county page the moment you publish.
Bring every town in your county with you
Emergency management is a county job, but the towns inside it publish their own ordinances, agendas, and legal notices, and a county cannot do that for them. A county agreement can cover those towns and districts at no charge to them, which solves the problem you actually have: nobody wants six towns on six different notification systems during a fire.
Each covered entity keeps its own account, its own team, and everything it publishes. You can see whether they are set up and when they last posted, and nothing else. Their news, their drafts, and their resident reports stay theirs. If an agreement ends, they drop to the free plan and keep every word of it.
- One agreement, one procurement, one invoice
- Every municipality and district inside the county, at no cost to them
- A unified countywide picture during an event
- Small towns that could never buy tools of their own get them
- Each entity stays sovereign, and can leave at any time keeping everything
Three steps to your first post
Registration takes minutes, and verification keeps the platform official.
Register your entity
Sign up with your official government email and tell us which entity you represent.
We verify it
A person reviews every registration. Sign-ups from a .gov or .us address usually clear fastest.
Invite your team and publish
Add staff with roles, then start posting news, alerts, meetings, and notices.
Publishing is free. Running an event is the product.
Anyone can post an alert here, forever, and getting a warning to a resident is never something we charge for. What the full plan adds is the layer above a single message, and being able to prove afterwards exactly what you sent.
Priced on the population you cover, from the same rate card as every other entity, and we will show you the math. Annual invoice, net 30, purchase order accepted, and we can start on your fiscal year rather than ours.
- One incident holding every alert and update on a single timeline
- Other agencies working the same event alongside you, on one record
- Delivery aimed at ground you draw, and evacuation zones kept ready
- Wording your attorney and PIO approved months before you need it
- Drills that exercise everything and reach nobody, with the record afterwards
- Proof of who was notified, when, and on which channel. It exports
- Every publication kept as it read at the time, for records requests
- Text messages at cost, and messages composed in each resident’s language
- Reach analytics, website widgets, and a named contact who answers
Not a city or a county?
The same platform, pointed at a different problem. Get in touch and we will talk through yours.
Electric co-ops and utilities
A planned shutoff needs staged notice to the members on a circuit, not to everyone inside a radius. Define your circuits and members join the one that serves them. Outage updates and annual meeting notices ride the same rails.
Hospital and health districts
Public health messaging that has to reach households who do not read English, board meetings and minutes for district hospitals, and the classes, screenings, and health fairs your outreach team already runs.
Tourism offices and marketing districts
Your events, your seasons, and your campaigns in front of people already planning a weekend here. Our event calendar embeds on your site so you stop maintaining two of them.
Schools and colleges have their own page. Chambers of commerce are on the business side.
