Is the app available now?
No. The current product is an interactive browser demo. The iPhone and Android apps are still in development.
Is the demo using live hazard data?
The demo primarily uses sample reports and a sample geographic area so visitors can test features consistently.
Will What Can Kill Me replace official emergency alerts?
No. Official agencies, emergency services and local authorities remain the primary sources for emergency instructions. The platform is intended to complement—not replace—official information.
How will false reports be handled?
The concept includes account verification, report history, confidence indicators, confirmations, disputes, expert or official review, freshness controls and moderation workflows.
Why include People as a hazard family?
The category is meant for location-based safety conditions such as violent incidents, threatening behavior, unsafe crowds and areas people should avoid. Policies must prevent profiling, harassment and unsupported accusations.
Why are mushrooms in the Plant family?
Plant serves as the user-facing family for poisonous plants, toxic mushrooms, spores, irritating sap and similar natural hazards. The taxonomy can retain scientifically accurate details beneath the simplified interface.
Will the app work internationally?
International coverage is a long-term goal. Quality will depend on mapping, official data, community participation, language support and local legal requirements.
What is dynamic risk scoring?
It is the planned combination of severity, distance, freshness, confidence, exposure and changing conditions into a clearer decision aid. The score should always show its limitations.
Will there be advertising?
The preferred business model is membership-based so safety information is not distorted by advertising incentives. Final pricing and plan structure are still being developed.
How can organizations participate?
Parks, agencies, tourism organizations, schools, nonprofits and outdoor companies can contact the project about pilots, data partnerships, education or sponsorship.
How can I become a beta tester?
Join early access and test the interactive demo. Beta opportunities will be announced as development progresses.
What should I do in an emergency?
Call the appropriate local emergency number and follow official instructions. Do not rely on the demo or community reports for emergency response.
