Colegatum plans emergency updates for trusted circles
Colegatum describes a free service for deciding in advance who can send emergency updates and what each group will be told if you cannot communicate.
- For
- People planning emergency updates with trusted circles
- Worth noticing
- Trusted contacts must accept their role; reports from others stay pending until a trusted person checks and publishes them.
Field notes
The described setup lets users name groups such as family, friends, and work, then preview the exact message each group would receive. Trusted contacts have a separate role from recipients: they must accept permission, can verify pending reports, and can publish updates or close an alert. The homepage says recipients need no installation and can opt out through a link; its encryption, deletion, and delivery details are stated claims, not independently demonstrated here.
