- Families preparing to check in during an earthquake
- Worth noticing

Field notes
The setup described on the page uses phone numbers and one-time invitation codes to assemble a family group before an emergency. It says the dashboard can show who has responded, who needs help and who has not checked in, with automatic reminders for unanswered members. The site also describes optional location sharing and lists SMS and nearby-phone relaying as fallback routes; these capabilities are presented on the homepage but are not independently verified here.
