Safer communities.
One report at a time.

See community reports

Move or zoom the map to the area you want. Published reports appear on the map and in Community reports. Tap Refresh to check again, or Show on map beside a report. No reports does not mean an area is safe.

Choose a place

Umuahia, Aba and World are map shortcuts. For Nigeria, choose State / FCT, then City / Town. You can filter the listed towns. Town not listed? Move the map there or use GPS. A town choice only moves the map; it does not report an incident.

Use my GPS

Tap Use my GPS and allow Location when asked. If blocked in Chrome, tap the controls icon beside the address, then Permissions > Location > Allow. Also turn on phone Location and allow Chrome to use it in your phone settings. If you opened the app inside WhatsApp, open it directly in Chrome instead. GPS is optional: you can always choose the point on the map.

Report a safety concern

1. Tap the exact incident point on the map, or use GPS if the incident is at your location. Check the point before reporting.
2. Tap Report a safety concern. Choose what happened and how you know.
3. If adding a photo, use a harmless, non-identifying image you have the right to share. Photos are private to the moderator, never public. Do not include faces, number plates or personal documents. There is no automatic redaction.
4. Read and tick the confirmation, complete the security check, then tap Submit for human review. The report stays private until review. Saving only on this device does not send the report to the community.

Reports remain unverified even after publication and expire after 24 hours. Do not approach or follow anyone to make a report.

Enable phone alerts

1. Move the map to your chosen area, or use GPS once. Scroll to Phone alerts for a chosen area and tap Use map centre for alerts.
2. Choose 5, 10 or 20 km. Read and tick the consent box, complete the alert security check, then tap Enable / update phone alerts.
3. Allow notifications when your phone asks. Only new reports published by the moderator can trigger an alert.

This watches a saved approximate area, not your live location. It does not follow you as you travel. To change the area, repeat these steps. Subscriptions expire after 30 days.

Where alerts arrive: on the same phone/browser where you enabled them. On Android Chrome, look in your normal phone notification panel; they may also appear on the lock screen if phone settings allow. They come from Chrome / danger.ablove.org, not WhatsApp, SMS or email. On iPhone/iPad (iOS 16.4 or newer), first add the app to Home Screen and open it from there; alerts appear in the normal notification centre and may appear on the lock screen. Tap an alert to open the report.

Keep browser/app notifications allowed. Internet, phone settings and the small pilot limits can delay or prevent delivery. Alerts are best-effort, not guaranteed warnings. A removed or expired report may leave an old notice on the phone; open it to check the current status.

If you enabled alerts at the old ablove-danger-alert.pages.dev address, turn them off there first, then enable them again here. Browser permissions and alert subscriptions do not transfer between addresses.

Turn off: tap Turn off & delete alert area in the Phone alerts section. This deletes your saved area and subscription. Use this before clearing browser data. An already displayed notification may remain.

Share the app

Tap Share Danger Alert to open your phone's sharing menu. Choose the person or app yourself. If sharing is unavailable, tap Copy app link and paste it into a message. Only the home link and a short app description are shared, not your report, GPS or private photo.

Important

Danger Alert is a free, small test pilot. Publication review does not prove a report is true. It does not detect danger or send emergency help. If you are in danger, move to safety and contact local emergency services directly.
