Escalate app for PC

The Escalate app connects users, allowing them to stay safe while also getting more out of – and giving back to – their neighbourhoods and communities.

The app uses geo-location technology to enable users send and receive emergency alerts from close proximity, which instantly connects them to other users nearby. An SOS SMS is automatically generated and sent to user's emergency contacts alongside, all at the touch of a button. The app also gives users the opportunity to send/receive job requests and find local businesses within their communities in realtime. It also ensures that posts and comments are visible only to users within specific proximity radius - i.e. within a few meters or kilometres.

The app is accessible to use because of the built-in user interface with a map, which makes visualising your neighbourhoods and communicating with people in your community incredibly simple. You can search your local area for people according to their registered profession/business on the platform , such as “plumber”, "mechanic" or even "restaurants".

You can use Escalate to:
- Stay informed about events in your community.
- Send out emergency notifications to those who are nearby
- Discover and support amazing local businesses
- Locate and assist users who send out emergency alerts
- Find the nearby skilled professionals to meet your daily needs

The Escalate app is a quick and discreet way to call for help or get a request out to other nearby households, but also encourages support and cooperation within local communities, both from a humanitarian perspective and a commercial one.
Using the Escalate app, people all around the world are strengthening their local networks, learning about the finest of what their neighbourhoods have to offer, and supporting local businesses, whether they're talking about an abduction that was avoided or looking for suggestions for a good electrician.

By developing a simple and enjoyable platform for nearby households to communicate on, we hope to maximise the potential of neighbourhood communities.
