Mission of SafelyHQ
SafelyHQ was founded to leverage the power of shared consumer experiences for community impact. Our team brings expertise in crowdsourcing, data verification, analysis and communications. This platform is built on the power of shared knowledge. We aggregate consumer reports on critical community issues ranging from power outages to fraud alerts and boil water advisories while also scanning online sources for related notices from local entities and social media platforms. By centralizing these real-time reports all in one place organized by location and subject hashtags like #PowerOutage, #BoilWaterAdvisory, or #Boston, we empower communities to stay informed while also providing key insights to industry and agencies. Our verification processes aim to ensure report authenticity so our platform provides a reliable pulse on emerging issues. By surfacing trends early and accelerating problem-solving, we believe developing tech-enabled transparency at scale can transform communities creating new levels of accountability, responsiveness, and ultimately safety and wellbeing for all.
How It Works, Our Process
- At SafelyHQ, we simplify the complex journey from issue reporting to resolution. It starts when you, the consumer, report a concern on SafelyHQ. SafelyHQ also pulls directly from news reports, government sites, social media, and community sites to highlight concerns.
- Every consumer report on SafelyHQ gets both a human review and a technical back-end review. These reviews are designed to eliminate malicious or inauthentic reports. Misuse or malicious use of the site by users is also against our terms of use policy. Our commitment is to ensure as best we can, that each report represents an authentic observation from a real person.
