Before a hurricane, the essentials disappear — gas, water, ice, generators, batteries, propane. You drive store to store with no idea where anything is left. StormStock fixes that. StormStock is a free, community-powered app that shows where essential supplies are still in stock near you, reported in real time by neighbors going through the same storm. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Find supplies nearby — see which stores have water, fuel, ice, food, generators, batteries, and propane, with distance and how fresh the report is. • Report in seconds — tap a store and mark an item "in stock", "low", or "out" to help everyone around you. • Hazard map — see and report flooding, downed power lines, blocked roads, and fallen trees, with a live rain radar. • Storm & tornado alerts — official National Weather Service and National Hurricane Center info, a tornado warning that shows the exact affected area, and an early heads-up when a new system may be forming. • Community chat & mutual aid — talk with neighbors by area, offer or ask for help. • Translate any message — read a neighbor's post in your own language with one tap. • Family & friends — share your live location and a simple "I'm safe" / "I need help" status, and see who's nearby, safe, and online. • Emergency mode — one-tap 911, nearest open shelter (FEMA), and evacuation zone lookup. • Prep checklist — know exactly what to stock, with one-tap shopping. • Damage documentation — photos with time and location, saved on your phone for your insurance. • AI assistant — ask anything about hurricane prep and get calm, practical answers. BUILT FOR THE STORM • Speaks 10 languages, including English, Spanish, Haitian Creole, French, Portuguese, Vietnamese, Chinese, Tagalog, Russian, and German. • Designed to work even with a weak connection — your reports are saved and sync when you're back online. • Notifications reach you even with the app closed: a hazard nearby, a friend's SOS, a tornado warning, a new storm forming. FREE, SAFE & PRIVATE StormStock is free and works fully anonymously — signing in is optional (Google or Apple) and only needed to post in the community. Every post can be reported or blocked, and photos and text are automatically moderated. We never sell your data and there are no ads. Your location is used only to show what's near you. Made in Orlando, for Central Florida — and anywhere a storm can hit. Stay stocked. Stay safe. Help your neighbors.
