Know who is safe, even when the phones are down.

When the network fails, leaders still need answers

After a quake, a flood or a long power cut, cell towers can go down or get jammed. Leaders need to know which homes are OK and who needs help. They need a way to reach each group. Muster helps you plan for this before the day comes, and keep track on the day.

How Muster helps

• Account for people

  Captains check on each home in their zone: OK, needs help, or no answer. Leaders see the totals for each group as they come in.

• Keep word moving

  Each group has a backup plan: what to try first, what to try next and when to listen. Muster learns which radio paths have worked from real check-ins.

• Work without the internet

  Save Muster on a phone or laptop and it keeps working offline. Net control can keep logging check-ins and send them later. Cards and forms print on plain paper.

Who it is for

• Emergency managers

  See how each group in your area can be reached. Run drills before you need them.

• Faith and community leaders

  Know which families are safe, and who needs a visit or supplies.

• CERT and ARES volunteers

  Run the net with a roster, a log and a backup plan that work offline.
