Safety by design

Useful information without exposing households.

Approximate areas

Show a suburb or general location, never a private street address.

Protected contact

Use secure messaging or an email relay instead of public numbers.

Verified handover

A photograph match is a lead, not proof of identity or ownership.

Register before an emergency happens.

A clear profile gives neighbours a head start when every minute matters.
