D911 Inc.

D911 Mobile App program will connect preparation, survival, and resilience in a single disaster mana

Goal One: D911 will further app development and increase simplicity in the operation of the platform to continue to assure easy, intuitive access to help before, during, and after disaster events.

Goal Two: D911 will scale up staff and professional management to address government and civilian disaster concerns seeking ways to improve. Developing funding and partnerships to strengthen our mission

Goal Three: D911 will create new opportunities and adapt to changes in disaster response efforts and the needs of the D911 App users to ensure the right supplies get to the right people when they need them most.

D911 has participated in diversity and inclusion training that resulted in the adoption of a broad diversity and inclusion policy. D911 leadership uses an internal peer system to build personal relationships between the Board of Directors, Volunteers, and D911 App users. DF911 uses Non-Profit Ready leadership training programs as well. Each person in a leadership role is required to complete two modules, Emerging Leaders Playbook, and Guiding Team and Individual Actions. Leadership roles in D911 are encouraged to annually complete at minimum two additional modules for further education and increasing value to their team.

D911 was originally envisioned as an immediate response app. Addressing non-life threatening urgent needs of people in the midst of a disaster event. In the last year, after Hurricane Ian, it was clear that a greater, and primary focus on preparation and resilience was going to be the future of the D911 Mobile App program. Working with disaster response partners, and considering what would be best for each part of the disaster response effort, D911 is implementing a preparedness kit that will be available to underserved communities for free and others at a subsidized price. This effort will allow D911 App Users to have a 72-hour preparedness supply kit on hand before disaster strikes. In Hurricane Ian's aftermath, D911 saw an opportunity to create a directory in the app that connects professional service companies with people in the disaster area that need their help. The external change that prompted these adaptations was the lack of efficient methods for people to be ready in advance and to access professional services after the event. D911 maintains the response element of the app, connecting citizen to citizen as people helping people, these additional elements are being developed now to address a need for a disaster response ecosystem that is simple and easy to access. For D911, this is a major shift that further aligns the D911 Mobile App program with the directives and goals of professional emergency managers, responders, and local leaders.
