The platform is sustained through grant funding and partnerships with government agencies and academic institutions. PHapp is free for all users—no tiers, subscriptions, or hidden costs—and exists to protect communities and save lives, not maximize profit.
PHapp delivers alerts based on the location(s) you choose to monitor. You can customize notification preferences to control which alert types you receive and how you receive them (app, SMS, email, or video).
PHapp delivers alerts through multiple channels: in-app notifications, SMS text messages, email, and video formats. You control your preferences for which channels you use and which alert types you want to receive. This multi-channel approach ensures you get critical information in the format that works best for you.
Yes, all content in PHapp is professionally translated by human experts into 50+ languages. AI helps scale the content across different channels (SMS, email, video, app), but human translators ensure accuracy and cultural relevance for every language.
PHapp uses AI to scale communication across SMS, email, video, and app—delivering faster, smarter alerts. However, every AI-assisted message is reviewed by experts before reaching you, ensuring accuracy, cultural appropriateness, and trustworthiness. Our AI Safety Framework provides transparent safeguards, and AI features are optional and can be fully disabled if preferred. AI also helps spot patterns in community reports, but experts validate all findings before alerts are issued.
Yes! PHapp includes community reporting features that allow you to share real-time conditions like floods, power outages, symptoms, and local hazards. Your reports help authorities respond faster and alert your neighbors sooner. Reporting is privacy-preserved—you can report anonymously or with optional identification. Your contributions create a two-way dialogue that keeps everyone safer.
