How We're Trying to Save Lives

Our platform directly reaches recreational river users where they are - on social media and mobile devices - delivering critical safety information when it matters most.

Traditional Safety Alerts
  • Limited broadcast reach
  • Passive, easily missed warnings
  • Not targeted to actual river users
  • Often too late to prevent accidents
How's the James
  • 130K+ engaged river users per day
  • Real-time safety alerts via social media
  • Direct messaging to people at risk
  • Educational content that saves lives
Your support helps us reach recreational users directly on their devices with potentially life-saving information about high water, dangerous temperatures, and river conditions.
