This concept is the essences of the Aftermath Data app. When it comes to disasters and emergencies we are all people, humans, and Americans. If there is a silver lining in a disaster it is the good that it brings out of people willing and wanting to help each other. Often there is a big desire to help but we are unsure how to help or who to help. The Aftermath Data app helps connect people needing help with those who can help.
Install the Aftermath Data mobile app prior to a disaster
Identify yourself as a responder or regular user
Share the app with others and get to know it before a disaster
Monitor the app to see who is in need, where and what is needed to respond
Don’t respond to requests for help you are not qualified to handle
Always attempt to call 911 to ensure professionally trained responders are informed

Encourage vets and caregivers to post status info for family and friends in other areas
