How it works

  • Citizens report incidents by pinning locations on the map
  • The community validates reports through upvotes and comments
  • Escalated reports can be sent directly to local government
  • Everyone stays informed with real-time updates

Free for everyone

Sentinela is provided completely free to communities in Portugal and across Europe. We believe emergency reporting infrastructure should be accessible to everyone, everywhere - no subscriptions, no hidden fees, no barriers.

Whether you're in Lisbon, Porto, or anywhere else in the world, Sentinela is here to help your community stay safe and informed.
