“Letting someone know where you are headed and when to expect you back is extremely important. ... If search and rescue agencies are notified of a missing hiker within hours instead of days, the probability of a positive outcome increases dramatically.”

Always tell someone where you're going hiking and when you plan to return. Stack the odds in your favor for a safe return with HikerAlert.
1
Create and Configure
your HikerAlert member account. We just need your name, mobile phone number, and email address.
2
Let Us Know
where you're going, when you plan to return, and which friends or family members to contact if you don't check in.
3
Head Out
and do your thing, and HikerAlert will do its thing. If you don't check in on time, we'll notify your contacts.
Once you record a trip report, the information is automatically uploaded and stored in HikerAlert's system. If you don't check in on time, the emergency alert messages are sent directly from HikerAlert, not from your cell phone, so you don't need to have your phone or cell service for HikerAlert to send its alerts. Go out, have fun, and HikerAlert will still do its job, no matter what happens to you or your phone.
While you do have an internet connection, you can access HikerAlert.com on any Web-connected device, including any computer, mobile device or tablet. And because HikerAlert is Web-based, rather than installed on just your mobile phone, you'll never need to download updates. You'll automatically have the latest version each time you log-in.

“..., when we staged a mock hiking emergency, we were pleasantly surprised at the smooth process. The service [HikerAlert] texted our phone asking us if we were back at the appointed time, but we ignored it. Then, it texted our contacts, telling them there was a potential emergency and to check their email. There, they saw all the crucial information they would need to hand authorities. They also got the correct local numbers for the sheriff's department and other authorities in the location of our hike.”
If you find HikerAlert does not perform as advertised, within 30 days of your initial registration, you can cancel your membership, and we'll be happy to refund 100% of your annual membership fee.
