Emergency Preparedness & Response

Give residents one stable multilingual destination for preparedness guidance, real-time updates, and what to do next — before, during, and after an incident.

PHapp® helps preparedness teams work alongside existing alerting tools by giving residents one place to understand what is happening, what to do next, and where to go locally.

Built for preparedness teams

Work with the alerting tools you already have — PHapp® is not another replacement system for mass notification. It gives your current alerts a resident-facing destination with current guidance and local next steps.
Make public guidance easier to find and understand — Residents can access official updates by app, web, or text, with support for more than 50 human-reviewed languages. That helps teams reach beyond English-only websites and social posts alone.
Keep one source of truth during an incident — Instead of sending people to changing press releases, PDFs, or scattered pages, teams can use stable PHapp® links that stay current as the situation evolves.

What implementation looks like

Most preparedness teams start by reviewing the resident experience, choosing the hazards and stable links they want to share, and deciding where PHapp® should appear in their website and incident workflow.

You do not need to replace your current alerting system to make PHapp® useful. Start by using PHapp® as the resident-facing guidance destination — for preparedness messaging, ongoing situations, and what to do next during an incident — then add embed or portal workflows as your team is ready.
