This is Derek.
Derek lives in Delray Beach, Florida. Because he lives in an area that is prone to hurricanes, Derek is constantly worried about ensuring that he and his family are protected in the event of a disaster. To give himself peace of mind, Derek signed onto the cash crowd database. It was a very straightforward process that only took a few minutes – he put in personal details for him and every member of his household and provided his passport, tax return, and fingerprints for scanning.
Two months later, a hurricane hit Delray Beach and destroyed Derek’s home. The very next day, the organization GiveDirectly came to town with a program to give cash to individuals that had survived the disaster. to be eligible however, you had to prove your identity with government-issued documents. Because Derek had pre-registered with CashCrowd, he did not have to wait until the government could re-issue the documents that had been destroyed by the hurricane but merely used his biometrics to access the data already stored on the database that proved his identity. Derek received the cash in his bank account immediately and was able to rent a safe and comfortable place for his family until their home was ready to be occupied.
Making your recovery from a disaster just a little bit easier…
Natural disasters such as hurricanes can come seemingly out of nowhere and have an incredibly disruptive impact on everyday life. We understand that worrying about the health and safety of you and your family in the aftermath of a disaster is paramount and would like you to have one less thing to worry about.
Be prepared…
We provide a way for you to be part of a community-wide database that serves as a proof of eligibility to cash relief programs and ensures that you are able to provide for you and your family in trying times.
Everything you need in one place…
With our registration system, your identity will be pre-verified with biometrics and government-issued identification documents so that when you need to access the cash disbursement service immediately after a hurricane, you will not experience any delays.
HOW IT WORKS
We have built a biometric database that contains personal information that can be used to verify the eligibility of individuals for cash disbursement programs in the aftermath of a disaster. This includes personal data such as name, address, date of birth, and income for every member of a household in an identified risk-zone. We also scan copies of government-issued documents that serve as proof of identity (such as passports, drivers’ licenses, and national ID cards) and collect biometric information (such as fingerprints).
This information is collected and inputted into the database prior to the occurrence of a hurricane disaster by a team of volunteers. Our database is encrypted to ensure the highest level of protection for your personal information.
In the aftermath of a disaster, we partner with non-governmental organizations like GiveDirectly who provide cash relief to survivors of natural disasters and provide access to our pre-verified database to enable them quickly administer their cash disbursement program to the community.
