Nino! is a social initiative by artist Zahui Varga Erik, and versatile technical professional Boldog Cristian.

Nino! is a secure, location-based communication network that puts global news on the map. It empowers you to navigate breaking events effectively while keeping you connected to loved ones and your local community. It is the intersection of a news aggregator and a safety beacon.

Nino! is completely free. We occasionally serve ads to cover our operational costs.

Emergencies: In high-stress situations, victims often struggle to articulate their exact location or situation to emergency dispatchers due to language barriers, panic, or outdated dispatch technology.

Nino! acts as a critical lifeline when words fail. By placing incidents precisely on a map, we provide peer support and bolster the collective response to acute situations.

Citizen Heroism: We move news beyond passive consumption. Nino! turns users into active participants. By gathering information and alerting the community, we create a feedback loop that allows for collaborative resolution.

Am I Protected if I Help? (Good Samaritan Laws)

Note: The following is general information and does not constitute legal advice. Laws vary by region.

Many users worry about liability when assisting others. In many jurisdictions, Good Samaritan Laws exist to protect individuals who assist a victim during an emergency.

• The General Principle: These laws typically protect a layperson from civil liability as long as they act in good faith, without compensation, and to the best of their ability to aid a victim.

• The Spirit of the Law: "...a person, who, in good faith, lends emergency care or assistance... shall not be liable for any civil damages for acts or omissions performed in good faith."

We encourage all Nino! users to familiarize themselves with the specific laws in their local jurisdiction.
