Four Steps to Community Safety

NearGuard creates a safety net of neighbors ready to help in the critical minutes before emergency services arrive.

1

Sign Up & Set Your Radius

Create your profile and define how far you're willing to respond — typically 200-500 meters.

2

Choose Your Role

Register as a responder, a vulnerable resident, or both. Add any relevant skills or conditions.

3

One-Tap Activation

When help is needed, a single tap sends an alert to all nearby registered neighbors instantly.

4

Neighbors Respond

Available neighbors see the alert, confirm they're coming, and arrive within seconds.

Built for Real Emergencies

Every feature designed around one goal: getting help to those who need it as fast as possible.

📍

Hyperlocal Alerts

Notifications only reach neighbors within your defined radius — no spam, just relevant alerts from people near you.

🔒

Privacy-First Design

Vulnerable residents control what information is shared. Exact addresses only revealed during active emergencies.

Verified Responders

Community-verified neighbors with optional skill badges for first aid, CPR, or medical training.

Instant Push Alerts

High-priority notifications that cut through Do Not Disturb. When seconds matter, alerts get through.

👥

Why Communities Need NearGuard

"
My mum lives alone and has had two falls this year. Both times the ambulance took over 20 minutes. With neighbors who could respond immediately, I'd have so much more peace of mind.

As someone with epilepsy, knowing my neighbors could be alerted if I have a seizure — and that they'd know what to do — would be life-changing.

I'm retired and would love to help my neighbors if they needed it. Right now there's no way to know when someone nearby needs assistance.
