September 15, 2019 – A new community and emergency app made in Croatia brings emergency assistance from local community heroes – meet Heroes Nearby.
I like simple things which offer simple solutions to everyday problems. Especially things which provide assistance to the needy and strengthen the sense of community.
A new app made in Croatia was launched a few months ago, which I have only recently heard about, and it has the potential to help a lots of people in need at the touch of a button. Heroes Nearby is a simple connection between those in need and those in the area who are in a position to help. Rather than reinvent the wheel, here is how the app founders explain it:
Children and Parents
Do you feel worried when your child goes to school or training and back alone? Are you concerned about bullying? Are you afraid no one will be there to help your child out while you are not around?
By installing Heroes Nearby emergency app on your children’s smartphone you can improve their safety and have peace of mind. With this app your child can send a quick and discreet signal straight to your phone regarding a potential or real danger they may face. SOS calls come with a location tracker, and can be simultaneously directed to an unlimited number of people: relatives, friends and neighbours, as well as to the appropriate authorities. You can also count on the help of Heroes – selfless people in your community that you may not know personally, but who are ready and willing to help.
Chronic Patients
Do you have heart problem, suffer from asthma, epilepsy or another chronic condition? Have you already experienced a severe allergic reaction that threatened your life? Are you concerned about being alone or with people who don’t know how to help during an episode?
In situations where every second matters, with the Heroes Nearby emergency app you are one click away from sending an SOS call which clearly describes the type of danger you are in and how you can be helped. Not only will you inform your family and the emergency medical services at the same time, this call can also go to the members of the Heroes Nearby Community that have the necessary medical skills and are located in your vicinity.
The Elderly, Disabled and Their Caretakers
Had a fall and unable to get up? Flooded home due to a burst pipe? Power blackout or other household emergency? For elderly people, those with disabilities, or anyone who lives alone, an everyday household emergency, even when not particularly dangerous, can be a traumatic experience.
Will the person in question remember to call someone at that moment? Will they be able to explain where they are and what happened to them?
With Heroes Nearby emergency app help is only a click away. The person in distress will get an immediate response; who received the call and whether help is on its way.

The world can be a dangerous place. Unforeseen situations, as well as little or big emergencies are a part of life and difficult to avoid.

The Heroes Nearby app features, combined with the Heroes Nearby Community at your disposal, significantly increases your chances of a favourable outcome in stressful and emergency situations wherever you are.
