Every minutecounts.saves.matters.For the people you love.
Real-time wildfire alerts for you, your family, and everyone you're watching out for — before it's too late.
Know they're safe.
From anywhere.
Whether you're across the street or across the country, Minutes Matter keeps you connected to the people you care for — so you can breathe easier.
Alerts Before Orders
Get notified the moment satellite data detects a fire — before official evacuations are even called.
Safe Check-Ins
Your loved one taps once to confirm they are safe. You see it instantly, wherever you are.
Clear Evacuation Routes
Step-by-step guidance to safely leave your area, with the nearest shelters and open roads updated in real time.
Closing the gap between
signal and safety.
Alerts arrive too late.
Or not at all.
Fires can double in size in minutes. Official warnings come too late — and in rural areas, for minorities and caregivers, they often don't come at all.
"By the time an evacuation order is issued, the safe window to leave may already be closing." — National Wildfire Coordinating Group
We built a fix.
Four steps to safer evacuations.
Signal Detection
NASA FIRMS and WatchDuty data streams detect fire incidents in real time, before formal evacuation orders are ever issued.
Gap Analysis
We identify where formal evacuation orders are missing despite clear fire signals, closing the critical information gap.
Equity Scoring
CDC Social Vulnerability Index data identifies which communities are most at risk and least likely to receive timely alerts.
Personalized Alerts
Evacuees receive tailored alerts, accessible evacuation routes, and safe shelter locations in plain, accessible language.
Protecting those who
need it most.
Nobody Knows Them Better Than You.
When you reach out to a loved one with real information a fire bearing down, a route still open, a window to move they listen. A call from you carries weight that no automated alert ever will.
Most tragedies happen not from lack of warning, but from no action taken at all. Be the reason they moved in time.
Distance Is Not a Disadvantage.
Whether you're across the street or across the country, Minutes Matter keeps you connected to the people you care for.
You don't have to be there to protect them. You just have to be informed.
Don't Wait. Initiate.
Official evacuation orders come late. Emergency services are overwhelmed. The window to move safely closes fast. Most people who didn't make it out in time weren't uninformed. They were waiting for someone else to make the call.
Minutes Matter puts the signal in your hands before the order is issued. Don't wait for someone else to act. You can be the one who makes the call.
Make the Switch.
The families who need early warnings most are the ones standard systems fail first. Slower to evacuate, harder to reach, further from help. Minutes Matter was built for them — and for you.
