Safety & Emergency Response

When you need
people, they come. That is what genuine community looks like.

One button on your phone. Nearby members are alerted instantly. Whether you are being followed, facing intimidation, or in the middle of a local crisis — your community shows up. Not an algorithm. Not a call centre. Your people. Now.

Press once. Your trusted network responds. No explanation needed.

The situations this solves

Real moments.
Real people who respond.

These aren't edge cases. They happen to real people every day — and right now there's nothing designed to help.

🚶‍♀️

Walking home alone at night

Before ETCYou call someone to stay on the line and hope. If your phone dies, you're on your own. Nobody knows exactly where you are.
With ETCPress the beacon. Nearby members are alerted with your approximate location. Someone walks with you or monitors until you're home safely.
🚪

Bailiffs or intimidating visitors at your door

Before ETCYou face them alone. No witnesses. Even if something unlawful happens, it's your word against theirs.
With ETCPress the beacon. Local members come to bear witness. The interaction is documented in real time. They know they're being watched.
🌊

Flooding, fire or neighbourhood emergency

Before ETCYou post on Facebook and hope people see it. Volunteers are uncoordinated. Nobody knows who has what resources.
With ETCGeo-targeted alert reaches all members in the affected area in seconds. Resources and volunteers are matched in real time.
😟

Something feels wrong — you can't explain it

Before ETCYou dismiss the feeling. You don't want to bother anyone. You're alone with your unease.
With ETCYou do not need a reason. Press it. The people who know you and live near you respond. That is what genuine community looks like — showing up before you even have the words to explain why you need them.
Step by step

Exactly what happens
when you press the button.

No complexity. No settings to configure mid-panic. One press, one outcome: people who know you are alerted.

1

Join through a personal introduction

A friend, neighbour, or family member who's already on ETC invites you. You're a known man or woman — not an anonymous user. This is what makes the safety system reliable.

2

Add ETC as a home screen widget

The beacon button lives on your phone's home screen — not buried in an app. One tap from your lock screen. No login required in an emergency.

3

Press the beacon when you need people

A geo-targeted alert is sent to all ETC members within your set radius. Your approximate location, your name, the time. No message required — just press.

4

Nearby members receive the alert and respond

They mark themselves as responding, on their way, or monitoring. You see who's coming. They see each other. Coordination is automatic.

5

The incident is automatically documented

All beacon activations are timestamped, location-stamped, and stored in your encrypted vault. Who responded, when, any notes. A legal record if you ever need it.

6

Press all clear when resolved

Your community is notified you're safe. The record closes. Responders can add notes. Done — until next time you, or someone near you, needs people.

A real community, doing this now

Sarah's network.
200 members. One platform.

Sarah ran a neighbourhood response network spread across three WhatsApp groups, two Facebook pages, and a spreadsheet she'd built herself. It held things together — just about.

"When the flooding came, I couldn't reach half my volunteers in time. The information was everywhere and nowhere."

She moved the whole network to ETC. Two hundred members, all personally vouched. Emergency alerts now reach the right people within seconds, geo-targeted to where they're actually needed.

The change that surprised her most wasn't the speed — it was the documentation. When she presented 23 incident reports to the local council, each one timestamped and location-stamped, they couldn't dismiss what she was telling them. For the first time, they responded in writing.

What changed for Sarah's network
5 fragmented tools replaced with one encrypted platform
Emergency response time: 40+ minutes → under 5
23 incidents documented with full timestamped records
Council issued formal written response — first time ever

Find your community.
You are one step from something real.

No commitment yet — just tell us you're interested. We'll reach out when beta access opens for your area.

You're on the list ✓

We'll be in touch when ETC opens in your area.
If you know someone who'd benefit — tell them.
Your vouch is the most valuable thing you can give them.

⚠ Use your real name. This is the name your community will know you by — once you join, your name and email are permanent identifiers and cannot be changed. False or fake names are grounds for removal from the Private Members Association.
Please do not skip this field if someone introduced you. Without a referral code: you will not benefit from the first month free offer, the man or woman who told you about ETC will not receive their £4 referral reward, and you will join at probationary trust level rather than as an introduced member. If you have lost your code, contact the man or woman who referred you or email hello@etcapp.net before submitting.
There is a lot more

Safety is one part of
everything we are building.

ETC has 23+ modules live in beta — from secure messaging and a community economy to education, governance, podcasting, video, and a community health farm. Most features have basic functionality now, with advanced capabilities added as members request and vote for them.
