The     911     Alternative




W

hen dealing with a crisis, Americans know to dial 911. But who do you call when neither a legal requirement nor paramedics are the best option for the situation? Griselda Viteri, a fund director at Huge Human at the time, devised a solution: Subdial is a free app that advertises coordinated access to assets that can help clients with issues such as mental health, residential savagery, starvation, and more. Clients can view cards on the app that contain information about local and national assets that are relevant to their situation. The cards include phone numbers—with the option to call right away—as well as directions to the businesses' physical locations and links to their websites. The database of the app contains over 1,000 assets, all of which have been verified and confirmed by the Subdial group.
