Leading innovation supporting
Alabama HB437
and
Lulu’s Law (S.1003) U.S. Sentate
Alabama HB437
In 2025, Alabama took a bold step toward modernizing beach safety with the passage of House Bill 437, establishing the Safe Beach Community program. This state initiative encourages coastal cities to adopt real-time hazard alerting, public education, environmental stewardship, and trained emergency response as a unified public safety standard.
"Lulu's Law"
S.1003 (U.S. Senate)
On the national stage, Senator Katie Britt introduced Lulu’s Law (S.1003) — a federal bill inspired by a tragic shark attack survivor from Alabama — to enable real-time, geotargeted mobile alerts for marine threats like shark attacks, giving local responders the tools to act faster and save lives.
Meeting the Moment:
Our platform was built to deliver the kind of real-time situational awareness, coastal coordination, and community protection these laws envision — not just meeting their standards, but raising the bar for what safe beaches should be.
We’re proud to be leading the way — from right here in Alabama.
