prepare for the next one

With Community Gearbox, build resilient communities and mobilize resources pre- and post- disaster.

emergency preparedness for both natural and human made disasters

1

Typical friends, families, and neighborhoods don't know who owns what preparedness gear, or may not be prepared at all.

2

After disaster, limited time exists to save lives and mobilize resources.

3

Community Gearbox solves those problems, preparing neighborhoods, families, and entire communities.

how it works

start something

Launch or join A 'Community'

Reach out to friends, families or neighbors you would like to build a preparedness ‘community’ with.

share things

Link together what you own

Easily add things. Let your community link generators, first aid kits, dinghies, amateur radios or anything else. You’ll always know who owns what, and when it matters most, you’ll get the resources you need quickly.

build real connections

get to know your neighbors

A resilient neighborhood is the lynchpin to successfully navigating a disaster. Community Gearbox helps you learn each others hobbies and interests, and creates a launchpad for sharing items and interests outside of disaster preparedness – fostering connections for when they really matter.

never lose
an item again

Keep track of who is using your preparedness tools and gear during a disaster.

track item
wear & tear

A built in system tracks wear and helps take care of things being shared.

organize things
into kits & collections

Gather items into convenient collections so friends can find them.

set simple sharing agreements & parameters

No more awkward moments about getting something back or repaired/replaced.

our hypothesis

communities already own required emergency resources but lack a visual interface to quickly mobilize resources

Why prepare?

A Real Sense Of community

On average 500 people exist for every 1 firefighter. In a major disaster, you need to rely on your friends, family and neighbors. 

We’re building a platform to spur deeper relationships. Where friends, families and neighbors can build resilient communities. With today’s technology and social platform structures, just beneath the surface is a huge opportunity!
