On the 2nd of June, Safe & the City is launching i3 React Email Alerts. Powered by i3 Intelligence’s AI, these email alerts provide users with important information on upcoming and ongoing protests to help keep people safe and prepared for the Jubilee Bank Holiday.
The Queen’s Jubilee is just around the corner, but not everyone will be celebrating. i3 React Email Alerts will be the ultimate planning companion to stay aware of important protests and riots. Safe & the City’s i3 React collates open-sourced crowdsourced data, notifying users of upcoming and real-time risks of protests via daily emails during the Jubilee long weekend, and through a weekly round up moving forward. i3 React has already detected upcoming planned protests across London, Bristol and other major UK cities due to take place during the Jubilee celebrations. i3 React aims to bring safety to the occasion by providing important information to take note of any disruptions that may interfere with their plans.
Founder and CEO, Jillian Kowalchuk said: “With public events now back in force and increasing restrictions on the right to protest, we believe it is vital for people to have access to a simple way to receive important information enabling them to plan ahead for their safety. No app download is required this time; the daily alerts will drop into their inbox across the 4-day weekend, followed by a weekly digest moving forward.
“Public and personal safety is a cornerstone of our social enterprise. Our ambition for i3 React emails coincides with the Queen’s Jubilee celebrations and the growing number of protests in public spaces. To achieve detecting these, we deploy our i3 Intelligence AI platform, monitoring millions of open-sourced crowdsourced information sources to propagate relevant information on protests and riots. We aim to empower subscribers with the information they need to avoid, plan around disruption, or join if they wish.”
Recently, the UK government passed legislation to try and reduce the number of protests and disruptions affecting people’s ability to move around their cities and potential crimes, property damage and violent acts that sometimes follow. While most protests are peaceful, all carry risks for different people, such as the Extinction Rebellion, that have seen some areas come to a standstill.
The initial Safe & the City app was created to help people move safely from A to B and has advanced to powering conversations with the market leaders in mobility to bridge the current safety navigation gaps. Through partnerships with market leaders in mobility including, Uber and TIER Mobility, Safe & The City continues to challenge safety as an afterthought and champion it as the first consideration within any app.
