Safety

Verified neighbours
Alerts, events, groups and For Sale & Free are open only to residents who have confirmed where they live.
Your address stays private
We use your location to find your neighbourhood. We never show your street, house number or coordinates to anyone.
Alerts built to stay useful
Urgent alerts are for danger happening now. They show to everyone for 2 hours, then alerts end automatically or when the poster marks them resolved.
Kindness reminders
If a post or comment looks hurtful, we'll suggest a second look before it goes out.
Report and block
Report any post, comment, listing, message or person. Reports are private. Block anyone you don't want to hear from.
Group admins and moderation
Group admins look after their groups, and reported content is reviewed against our community guidelines.

myHoodora is not an emergency service. If someone is in danger, call the national emergency number 112 first, then alert your neighbours.
