4Warning is a community-powered safety app. People report incidents, dangers and problems happening nearby, and everyone within about half a mile of them is given the chance to know about it before they arrive.
Let's Talk
4Warning was created from one simple thought — and from the fact that nothing else was doing this.
Every day someone notices a phone snatcher, a car being tried, a disturbance, a hazard in the road.
Whoever is walking that way knows nothing about it, and finds out by walking straight into it.
4Warning exists to close it, moving what one person can see to the people who cannot see it yet.
"I realised that people constantly witness things that could be useful to someone nearby — but there was no simple way of getting that information to the people who might need it."
4Warning began with an idea I first developed many years ago. The original concept was Warden Watch, a system to let motorists warn each other about traffic wardens in the area.
Then I realised the idea could be much bigger. Why limit people to warning each other about traffic wardens?
A car thief? A phone snatcher? A dangerous person? A fight? A road hazard? Or simply something happening nearby that other people should know about?
That question eventually became 4Warning. The technology has changed dramatically since then, but the principle hasn't.
People helping people by sharing what they can see with those who can't.
Our vision is a worldwide community of people looking out for one another, wherever they happen to be.
4Warning is not about making people afraid. It is about making sure they know what is around them.
One warning may help one person. That person may later warn someone else, and the network grows.
The same community awareness follows you into any area, whether you know it well or not at all.
Safety is our right.
Community awareness is how we protect it.
SEE IT. SHARE IT. AVOID IT.
