7. SCOPE
With this application we will be able to help in providing
safety to almost everyone. It will help in lowering the crime
rate and thus it will ensure a safer environment. With this
application, people will be able to get help, help someone
and thus it would build a community of people that would
help each other when it comes to providing safety or
reporting a crime. The application will also suggest nearby
safe places or resources that can be utilized when someone is
in a hurry or stuck somewhere. The intention of this
application is to provide you with the fastest and simplest
way to contact your nearest help and build a community of
people that would help each other in these conditions.

8. CONCLUSION
This is a “Human Safety Android Application” which helps
every human being who is in trouble. It sends help messages
to the emergency contact numbers to alert friends/family
members. It also helps to suggest nearby safe places or
resources and provides fastest help from security
departments when need arises. This is a user-friendly
application that can be accessed by anyone who has installed
it in their smartphones. Our intention is to provide you with
the fastest and simplest way to contact your nearest help. [4]
