Needs Assessment

Providing mass vital intelligence

SituateMe crowdsources vital welfare information and turns it into needs assessment capabilities, so emergency response can be planned against real conditions on the ground rather than assumptions.

What it does

Needs assessment at scale

When an event unfolds, authorities need to understand who needs what and where. Needs assessment capabilities gather welfare information from the people affected and turn it into a picture that supports effective emergency response.

How it works

From check-in to coordinated response

The process is designed to work with people who are stressed, displaced or simply trying to help.

  1. People share their situation

    Users provide vital welfare information through an intuitive messaging interface, including their location via a simple map and address finder.

  2. Information is assessed

    Needs assessment capabilities sort the incoming information into a mass vital intelligence picture that reflects real demand across the affected area.

  3. Authorities act

    Emergency managers can hold secure one-to-one conversations with users and act on what the assessment reveals.

  4. Escalation when it matters

    Where concerns are triggered, the conversation can be escalated to a live agent, keeping people and responders connected.

Who it serves

Assessment across every audience

The same vital intelligence backbone supports different groups during an emergency.
