Abstract: This paper presents the design and implementation of a Neighborhood Alert System, a mobile application developed for Android platforms, inspired by the Citizen app. The application aims to enhance community safety and awareness by delivering real-time alerts about incidents such as crimes, natural disasters, or emergencies occurring within a user-defined geographic area. Leveraging GPS technology, the app enables precise location-based notifications and supports user-generated incident reporting to foster community collaboration. The system integrates Firebase for backend services, ensuring scalable and reliable data synchronization. By employing an intuitive user interface and incorporating security features like verified incident reporting, the application seeks to empower individuals to make informed decisions during emergencies, fostering safer neighborhoods through community-driven vigilance. Experimental results demonstrate the system's ability to provide timely and accurate alerts, establishing its viability as a tool for modern urban safety challenges.
