During disasters, communications fail long before help arrives.
This tool exists to help neighborhoods plan before they need to improvise under stress.
It is intentionally pragmatic, offline-first, and built to be shared easily — even from a USB stick.
- Offline-first
- Zero telemetry
- No dependencies
- Plain HTML + CSS + JavaScript
- Works from the local file system
- Encourages printed backups
Pull requests welcome.
Please keep contributions:
- Dependency-free
- Offline-compatible
