For you and your loved ones, when disaster strikes.
Koruya helps you prepare, find trustworthy information when disaster strikes and tell the people you love “I'm safe”. It is designed to stay with you when the connection drops.
Koruya is not an official warning system and does not replace official warnings or emergency lines. If your life is in danger, call your country's emergency number.

In short
What is Koruya?
Koruya is a mobile app that helps you prepare for disasters, reach information published by official agencies and scientific networks when one strikes, and tell the people you love “I'm safe”. It brings maps, guides, a preparedness plan and emergency tools for earthquakes, floods, wildfires, storms and other disasters into one place, and some of them work without internet. Koruya is not an official warning system: if your life is in danger, call your local emergency number.

Why Koruya
A disaster is never a single moment. There is a before: a plan, a bag, knowing what to do. There is the moment itself: the right source, quick word to family. And there is an after: the people you love, safe places, recovery. Koruya is with you in all three, even when the internet is gone.
