What it does

Everything a precinct needs, in one place

From weekly radio check-ins to knowing which neighbor has a generator, Emergency Tracking keeps your people and your neighborhood organized.

Radio check-ins

Start a check-in with one tap and mark people in as they call in by radio, text or phone. Early check-ins and a full history are built in.

Blocks and maps

Divide your precinct into blocks, attach each block's map, and list every address the way your city does.

Know your neighbors

Block captains keep a contact list for every household on their block, ready when the phones and power go out.

Resources and skills

Know where the generators, chain saws and water storage are, and who the nurses, electricians and ham operators are.

Made for block captains

Captains get their own login and see just their block. It works on any phone and installs on the home screen like an app.

A dashboard for leaders

See at a glance which blocks need a captain, how many addresses have contacts, and how the last check-in went.

How it works

Up and running in an afternoon

Set up your precinct once, and your block captains take it from there.

Create your free account

Tell us what kind of group you are. For a precinct, we set up your blocks and the wording for you.

Add your blocks and addresses

Enter your addresses or bring in your city's list, and upload each block's map.

Invite your block captains

Each captain gets an email, picks a password, and sees their own block on their phone.

Check in and stay ready

Run regular check-ins, keep contacts current, and know what your neighborhood can count on.

Who it's for

Built for the people who get neighborhoods ready

Emergency precincts

Precincts that work within their city's emergency preparedness program, with city-defined boundaries, blocks and block captains.

CERT teams

Community Emergency Response Teams that need a roster, check-ins and a clear picture of their neighborhood.

Ham and GMRS radio groups

Radio nets that run regular check-ins and want a simple record of who checked in and how.

For ham and GMRS operators

Run your net, not a spreadsheet

Radio groups use Emergency Tracking for their regular check-in nets. Net control keeps the roster in hand, and every net's record is kept automatically.

When it's real, the same roster tells you who is on the air and who you still need to reach.

Net control on any phone or laptop

Start the check-in when the net opens and tap each station as it checks in. Everyone on your roster is right there in order.

Callsigns on the screen

Each operator's Ham and GMRS callsigns are listed with their name on the check-in screen, so net control can match a call to a person at a glance.

However they get through

Mark each check-in as radio, text, phone or early, and see how your operators are reaching you when conditions change.

Early check-ins

Operators who can't make the net can be checked in ahead of time, and they show up as checked in when the net starts.

Close the net

Finalize the check-in when the net closes. Every net is kept, with who checked in and how.

Turnout over time

See each operator's check-in history and how turnout compares with the last net, so you know who is active and who to reach out to.

Private by design

Your neighbors' information stays yours

Residents trust you with their names and phone numbers. We built Emergency Tracking so that trust is kept.

Private to your organization

No other organization can see your people, addresses or check-ins.

Need to know

Block captains see contact details only for their own blocks.

Never public

Residents' details are never shown publicly or to search engines.

Secure logins

Encrypted connections and individual logins for every leader and captain.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Yes. Emergency Tracking is free and always will be.

Yes. Choose "Ham or GMRS radio group or net" when you set up your organization. Your roster becomes a list of operators with their callsigns, and net control runs each check-in from a phone or computer.

Yes. It works anywhere. Any precinct, CERT team or radio group can set up its own organization, with its own blocks, addresses and wording.

Only your organization. Each organization's data is completely private from every other organization. Inside your organization, block captains see contact details only for their own blocks, and residents' information is never public.

No. Captains get an email invitation, choose a password, and use it from any phone or computer. Check-ins can be by radio, text or phone, so a radio is helpful but not required.

Yes. Call your people block captains, members or operators, and your groups blocks, zones or units. The whole site uses your words.

Not yet. We're adding an "Operate Offline" feature soon (Fall of 2026) so the app can be used when no data connection is available. It will then sync with our servers when the device is able to reconnect to cell or Wi-Fi.
