Team Österreich

Hitradio Ö3 and the Red Cross are looking for people who approach.

Team Austria is the innovative platform for neighborhood help in the event of a crisis - founded in 2008 by Ö3 and the Red Cross. Team Austria is now also going digital via the app. The app has three main features:

"I want to prepare"

Arrange a fixed meeting point for the family before events if you lose sight of each other. Don't think about candles, flashlights or cooking facilities until the power is gone. The Team Austria app becomes a personal preparation assistant, on the one hand giving tips that can save you a lot of trouble in everyday life and on the other hand accompanying the optimal preparation of your own home for a wide variety of exceptional situations. In addition, app users can use tailor-made behavioral tips, for example in the event of heat waves or other extraordinary events, to adapt perfectly to the current challenge.

"I want to be warned"

In the event of storms or other catastrophic events, fast, precise and reliable information counts: Official disaster warnings and weather warnings are delivered precisely to individually defined locations (home, work, children's school, etc.). In this way, precautions can be taken in the run-up to catastrophic events to prevent the corresponding damage.

"I want to help"

The willingness to help others if necessary - that is and will remain the basis of Team Austria's idea. A new feature is the ability to become an online helper via smartphone: The Team Austria app can assign important tasks that help the emergency services, for example, to better assess the situation and to target it in a more targeted manner during a heat wave, snow chaos or after a storm help - for example, to measure the temperature in the interior of the house, to give the exact snow depth or to send photos of the surroundings. And the app will also make things much easier for the more than 50,000 Team Austria members: They can be alerted to an operation directly via the app, be provided with all the relevant information and manage all of their operation data perfectly.
