A father's mission to keep communities safe
What happens when seconds matter and you need to reach everyone at once?
As a father of two school-aged children, this question kept me up at night. Every time I heard about an emergency at a school, a church, or a community center, I wondered: Were the parents notified in time? Did everyone get the message?
I've spent over 20 years in telecommunications, building the infrastructure that connects people. But when I looked at how schools, churches, and local organizations communicate during emergencies, I saw a gap that needed to be filled.
When an emergency happens, every second counts. But too often, critical information gets stuck in email inboxes that aren't checked, or phone trees that take too long, or systems so complicated that staff can't use them under pressure.
Schools shouldn't need enterprise-level IT departments to send a lockdown alert. Churches shouldn't struggle to notify their congregation about a service cancellation during a storm. Small nonprofits shouldn't be priced out of the tools that keep people safe.
Civic SOS was built to change that.
We built Civic SOS with three principles in mind:
Reach everyone in seconds, not minutes. SMS, voice calls, and email—all at once.
If you can send a text message, you can use Civic SOS. No training required.
Unlimited messages. Flat monthly pricing. No per-message fees that add up.
Built on enterprise-grade infrastructure with 99.99% uptime.
Civic SOS is built for the organizations that form the backbone of our communities:
Schools and daycares — Keep parents informed about lockdowns, weather closures, and emergencies.
Churches and religious organizations — Reach your congregation instantly when services change or emergencies arise.
Nonprofits — Mobilize volunteers and coordinate emergency response without breaking your budget.
Local governments — Protect your community with city-wide emergency notifications.
We believe that safety shouldn't be a luxury. Every organization, regardless of size or budget, deserves access to professional emergency communication tools.
That's why we offer unlimited messaging on every plan. That's why we built our system to be simple enough that anyone can use it. And that's why we're committed to keeping our prices accessible.
Because when it comes to keeping our kids, our families, and our communities safe—everyone deserves the best.
