Personal beacon, emergency help, local alerts, and
rapid response—restoring human connection through
trust and coordination.
ADY Alert is a community-powered, community-funded emergency alert system designed to
prevent harm, rapidly share critical information, and reinforce local response alongside public
services.
Built to coordinate people and information responsibly—without replacing 911.
2. THE PROBLEM
When things go wrong, they don’t always fit a checkbox.
You’ve felt this problem too—and it’s why ADY Alert exists.
- You see something that might become dangerous… but you’re not sure it “counts” as a 911 emergency yet.
- You hesitate—because you don’t want to be the person who “wasted resources” or triggered a false alarm.
- Even when you report it, signals can get lost in the noise—dispatchers and responders process massive volume.
- By the time something is “confirmed,” the moment for prevention often already passed.
Central systems can fail
Emergency response is essential—but not infallible. When centralized
warning and coordination break down, communities need a safe way to
signal, validate, and act early.
The technology exists. The orchestration doesn’t.
We have GPS, instant messaging, and modern mobile devices—yet no
trusted layer that helps people raise concerns early, validate them quickly,
coordinate nearby help safely, and escalate responsibly.
3. WHAT IT IS
A plain-language definition—before features.
ADY Alert lets people safely ask for help, report danger, and validate real emergencies—using both technology and trusted
humans.
It’s not a replacement for emergency services. It’s the missing layer before, around, and alongside them: a secure coordination space where
the right people can act together—emergency contacts, nearby community members, first responders, and public services.
Personal Alerts
Ask for help when something isn’t right—medical issues, crimes, or
immediate hazards.
Community Alerts
Warn nearby people about a potential or unfolding concern—calmly and
responsibly.
Human Validation
Real people confirm what’s happening before panic or delay sets in.
Verified Escalation
When something is real, the response escalates cleanly—community help,
emergency services, or both.
4. HOW IT WORKS
Simple. Calm. Coordinated.
A four-step flow that’s diagram-friendly and easy to understand—no edge cases.
1
Prepare
Set up emergency contacts, medical
essentials, dependents, places to
monitor, and skills you’re willing to
help with.
2
Create an Alert
Raise a personal alert or a
community alert—for yourself or
someone else—without guessing
whether it “counts.”
3
Validate
Nearby trusted humans review
what’s happening—so the signal is
verified, not blindly amplified.
4
Escalate
Route the right response: community
help, emergency contacts,
emergency services—or a
combination.
Minimum necessary information
ADY Alert shares information securely, selectively, and only when relevant—
often generalized or anonymized. Example: rather than exposing an exact
birthdate, the system may share an age range if that’s all that’s needed.
Precision only when it matters
Before sharing anything, ADY Alert asks: Is this information necessary—and how precise does it need to be? First responders may receive safety-relevant cautions without broadcasting private medical history to others.
The result: the closest people respond first, with the right information, at the right time—without chaos or delay.
5. WHO IT’S FOR
Broad, clear, and human.
If you’ve ever wished help could arrive sooner—or coordination could be safer—this is for you.
Individuals
Independent life: commuting, hiking alone, riding motorcycles, traveling for
work, or meeting someone new.
Families
One-button clarity for loved ones to alert each other instantly when help is
needed.
Children & Teens (Safely)
Age-appropriate access to nearby help while keeping parents informed and
involved from the start.
Neighbors & Communities
Everyday help for everyday needs—technology that reconnects people
instead of isolating them.
Schools & Campuses
A shared view to coordinate students, parents, staff, and responders so help
arrives faster.
Cities & Counties
Targeted local alerts that reduce noise and build trust—only the right people
get the right message.
Travelers
Ask for or offer help anywhere—while emergency contacts stay involved in
real time, worldwide.
6. SAFETY & TRUST
A core difference—by design.
ADY Alert quietly prevents the failure patterns that plague most platforms.
No anonymous mass alerts
Alerts come from real people tied to responsibility—not throwaway accounts.
Human validation at the edge
Nearby people verify what’s happening before anything expands.
Reputation-based trust
Credibility is earned over time through behavior—not popularity or volume.
Consequences for false alerts
Misuse carries meaningful impact, discouraging abuse without drama.
Filters instead of silencing
People aren’t erased; users choose what and who they trust.
Not social media
No feeds, no public posting, no attention economy—just real-worldcoordination.
The result: a system where trust grows naturally, abuse is discouraged quietly, and communities can act together—without chaos, fear, ormanipulation.
7. CHILDREN & AGE SAFETY
Designed for inclusion. Built for protection.
Protecting children cannot mean excluding them from safety.
ADY Alert is built with the understanding that responsibility doesn’t suddenly appear on someone’s 18th birthday. Children grow into capable,aware adults over time—and safety systems should support that growth, not ignore it.
Children can ask for help at any age
If something is wrong, a child can signal for help without navigating adultsystems.
Teens can report concerns
Older youth can raise alerts responsibly, helping prevent harm before itescalates.
Validation is age-restricted
Children are not placed in positions of authority or escalation they aren’tready for.
Protection from unsafe situations
Children are intentionally shielded from joining or being drawn into dangerous scenarios.
Parents first. Always. When children are involved—especially at schools—parents should be the first to know, not the last. ADY Alert isdesigned around that reality.
If a parent prefers not to give a child device access, ADY can still support identification and rapid guardian contact through parent-managedoptions.
8. WHAT ADY ALERT IS NOT
Clarity builds trust.
Here’s what ADY Alert is not—so expectations stay grounded and honest.
Not a replacement for 911
Designed to work alongside public services—helping deliver clearer, earlier,and more actionable information.
Not a social media platform
ADY exists to get people out of feeds and back into real life—technology as a tool, not a destination.
Not surveillance
Data is minimized, obfuscated, and discarded whenever possible—used only to improve relevance for you, not for others to exploit.
Not pay-to-use
No premium tier. No paywall for safety. If ADY Alert can’t be free, it won’t exist.
In short: ADY Alert is about support, coordination, and trust—nothing more, and nothing less.
9. FUNDING & MISSION
A public service, openly funded.
ADY Alert is built as a free public safety service—for everyone, everywhere.
Free to use. Always.
No subscriptions. No premium tiers. No paywalls. If ADY Alert cannot remain free, it will not exist.
Funded by donations and grants
Communities require hands-on setup and ongoing support—training and coordination with local partners. ADY Alert is operated through our nonprofit affiliate, Dark Energy Inc., to support transparent funding.
Our projected operating cost is $1 USD per user per year.
Donors—individuals, businesses, or governments—can choose where support goes, from a local community to a global rollout.
If this vision resonates with you, here’s how to be part of it.
