Emergency Data Backup

Download and explore a backup of the important data you need when it matters most.

JIC Agent

Quickly and accurately help you through an emergency with offline resources.

Data You Need when 'SHTF'

What would you do if there was a fire in your home? Or an extended power outage? What is your families plan for region-specific threats such as tornadoes, tsunamis, or forest fires? Do you have any emergency fallback food supplies if there is an earthquake or if you have to shelter-in-place? Where are local emergency services?

What would happen if you didn't have access to the Internet or cell service during a crisis?

Emergency Data Backup

The JIC dataset is an offline digital library that can be used without the Internet. It is curated and organized on disk, with search tools and an AI interface. The focus is on 'actionable information' - survival guides, medical references, even agricultural know-how and engineering resources, as well as broader educational materials like offline Wikipedia and open textbooks.

Just In Case Agent

We also provide an AI to help you build and stick to a plan. It can talk to you in your language, at your comprehension level, can quiz you on the basics, and help make sure that resources are in place on an ongoing basis to help protect your loved ones and your community.

WHY DOES THIS EXIT?

Surprising Lack of existing resources

WHERE OTHER PROJECTS FAIL

very Limited scope

low quality curation

outdated and bad data

hard to search
