The Peacekeeper emergency response app relies on a network of caring neighbors and friends instead of strangers in government. The app works by connecting communities through a common network then giving individuals and families the ability to report emergencies like fires, natural disasters, or break-ins. In the event of an emergency an alert message is sent out to everyone on the network and neighbors and friends have the opportunity to respond by letting the group know they are on their way to help. Here’s what Cody Drummond recently told Peace News Nows about why he is spearheading the creation the Peacekeeper App, “I wanted people to have more independence from government institutions because I think that relying on government institutions can be very damaging and dangerous.”
