Welcome to the New Open Hazards Web Site
As you can see, our web team of Paul, Alex, Charles, Erin and James have produced a terrific new configuration with a lot of new features. One of these new features is the new social networking capability. You can now upload photos and videos, send messages to friends, and create galleries of images. These will automatically post to other social media such as Facebook if you select that option.
Other new features will be introduced as time goes on. We hope you like these new features, and please feel free to use them and to tell your friends. Our goal is to make you, your friends and your family safer from great natural disasters.
Best Regards, John
