In short
Gumb is an app for emergency and rescue organizations: fire departments, first aid services, water rescue, technical units, civil protection and security services. Drills, duties and watches are planned as events, members respond by the response deadline, and posts become tasks right on the event. Every unit plans in its own group scheduler, and attendance can be exported as an Excel file. Gumb is not an emergency alerting app and does not replace alerting.
