This addresses a real, high-stakes pain point: emergency preparedness in multi-tenant buildings is often paper-based, outdated, and excludes vulnerable residents. The hard part is distribution—convincing building management to adopt and residents to participate. Trust and privacy are critical: residents must feel safe sharing personal data. For this to work, you need a compelling sales narrative tied to liability reduction and insurance compliance, plus a frictionless onboarding process that works across language barriers.

Insurance audits are a strong sales trigger—management must show a documented plan. Resident participation is the biggest adoption risk; gamification or incentives may help. Offline mode is non-negotiable; emergencies often knock out cellular networks.
Property managers face audit pressure for documented emergency plans. Residents with disabilities are often overlooked in current plans. Multilingual instructions are rarely available in apartment buildings.
