A community cannot thrive until those that sacrificed for it are taken care of. Hope Builds Life’s mission is to lower suicide rates and improve communication. Speeding up the response of fellow veterans to a veteran in immediate need is critical.
Through the use of technology partners, Hope Builds Life can fulfill its mission.
Flash Emergency Response Reconfiguration Project
Flash Emergency Response is a disaster and emergency response mobile application that helps businesses and government agencies respond to disasters and cyber attacks.
Flash EM has generously offered their core platform to be used as a private network of veteran communication and support. Running on their servers and maintained by Flash EM, Hope Builds Life can help reduce suicide rates by providing a safe place veterans can communicate and support each other.
This multi-phase project begins with high level, reliable communications and response to veterans in their moments of uncontrollable struggle.
