Help is one
hold away.
The community emergency-response app. Hold the SOS, share your live location, and get the nearest medical, fire, police, or ambulance unit dispatched — then watch them come to you in real time.
Built for the seconds that matter.
No menus to hunt through when your hands are shaking. One button, held for a second, does the rest.
Send
Hold SOS, pick the emergency type. Accidental taps can’t send.
Locate
Your live GPS goes to dispatch automatically — no address needed.
Track
See the responding unit move toward you, with a live ETA.
The whole rescue, on one screen.
Tap a feature — or the phone itself — to walk through the real app, screen by screen. It’ll play the tour on its own until you take over.
Everything a rescue call needs — and nothing it doesn’t.
Designed with local emergency responders around how emergencies actually unfold on the ground.
Hold-to-Send SOS
A one-second press ring — the same pattern as iPhone Emergency SOS — so a pocket bump never fires a false alarm.
Live location
Your exact coordinates are shared the moment you send — responders navigate straight to you, no address required.
Real-time tracking
Watch the responding unit approach on the map with a live ETA, and follow every status from “on the way” to “at hospital.”
Weather advisories
Local authorities broadcast typhoon, flood, and heat warnings straight to every phone — with the time posted, so you know it’s current.
Photo of the scene
Attach a picture so the crew arrives knowing what they’re walking into — a fire, a crash, rising water.
Hotline fallback
If no responder has accepted yet, a one-tap call to the local hotline appears — the app never leaves you waiting in silence.
Secure & private
Role-based access and encrypted sign-in. Your data is visible only to the responders handling your request.
Emergency without account
In a crisis there’s no time to register. Send an SOS as a guest — sign-up can wait until everyone is safe.
Multi-unit dispatch
Big incidents need more than one truck. Dispatch can send an ambulance, a fire unit, and police to the same call at once.
Five steps, start to safe.
A real sequence — each stage is one you’ll actually see on your screen, in order.
Send the SOS
Open the app and hold the red button for one second, then choose the emergency — medical, fire, police, accident, or flood.
Your location is shared
The app captures your live GPS the instant you send. Responders and dispatch see exactly where you are — down to a few metres.
Dispatch assigns a unit
Dispatch sees your request on the live map and sends the nearest available unit. The crew gets a loud alarm even if their phone is asleep.
Track them in real time
Follow the responding unit on your map with a live ETA, and watch the status timeline update: accepted, on the way, arrived.
Resolved or transported
The crew helps on-scene, or transports you to the hospital with the route shown on the map — right through to “endorsed to hospital.”
One request, four systems, in sync.
The same sequence from the other side — how a single SOS moves through the platform, the LGU and provincial portals, and the responding unit.
The status timeline, live.
Exactly what a resident sees while help is on the way — the timeline updates itself, step by step, as the map tracks the unit in.
A dispatch console built for the field.
The other half of Maligtas.ph: a web command centre for the office, and a responder app for the crew.
The dispatch dashboard — assign units, watch the live map, broadcast advisories.
- Live map of every request. All active incidents in one view, colour-coded by status and severity.
- One-tap dispatch. Assign the nearest unit — or several — and their route to the scene and the hospital draws itself.
- Broadcast advisories. Push a weather or flood warning to every resident’s phone in seconds.
- Full audit trail. Every dispatch, status change, and sign-in is logged for accountability.
- Crew alarm. Assigned responders get a loud alert that cuts through a locked, silent phone.
One command center. Every region.
The Command Center gives administrators real-time situational awareness across every region they serve — a live map with regional boundaries, per-region status and pending alerts, incident trends, and response-time analytics per municipality.
From roadside to ER — connected.
The moment a rescuer picks a destination hospital, that hospital’s own portal alarms with the case: patient details, triage level, live ambulance tracking, and one-click Accept — so the emergency room is ready before the patient arrives.

Nobody should think twice about the cost before asking for help. The resident app is free, always. Dispatch and command-center access for local government units is priced around the size and needs of the office running it.
