CiviGuard technologies focus on optimizing communication between the civilian (you) and the Government during a crisis.
In times of chaos, it is important to have trusted information sources delivering critical information specific to your context. It is great that you get an SMS on your cell phone indicating a natural or man-made disaster occurred, but with millions of GPS-enabled smartphones, more cell towers and more bandwidth - the experience can be better.
CiviCast - can do that. It is designed to work on your iPhone or Android or Pre or Blackberry, and puts trusted information from your Government into the palm of your hand.
