內容簡介
Buoy 是一個去中心化的 9-1-1 替代方案，由那些現有的緊急應對服務無法良好服務的人們建立和運行。Buoy 讓你輕鬆告訴你的朋友你在哪裡以及你需要什麼幫助。Buoy 的目標是讓任何處於困境中的人都有向他們信任的人尋求支援的選擇，而不是被迫依靠他們不認識的人。
Buoy 不是你可以從應用程式商店下載的傳統“應用程式”，而是一個用於為現有網站添加危機應對和緊急調度服務的系統。使用 Buoy，社區團體、行動主義組織和社會支援服務提供者可以迅速將需要幫助的人與值得信賴的朋友、家人、支持者和其他盟友聯繫起來提供幫助。它是設計為由社區擁有和運營，因此每個 Buoy 的實例都可以根據主辦組織或社區團體的獨特需求進行自定義。
無論你是一組在行動中協調的街上醫務人員，還是監控彼此的公民記者或警察監視員，還是家庭暴力倖存者支援倡導者，甚至是單親家長互助交接孩子，Buoy 都可以幫助你向你的朋友和同伴提供基於同儕的互助。
對於服務提供者
任何使用 WordPress 的網站或博客都可以添加 Buoy 軟件（一鍵自動安裝）到他們的網站上，從而使該站的成員能夠相互提供基於同儕的互助。此外，法律援助服務提供者、家庭暴力、約會和親密伴侶暴力預防倡導者、收容所、社交團體、替代醫療和心理健康集體等都可以為他們的社區成員提供一鍵式的緊急訪問，讓他們獲得一個可信任的同伴網絡和/或隨時待命的緊急響應者。
對於受害者和倖存者
即使在最危險和可怕的情況下，Buoy 也能讓你輕鬆告訴你的朋友你在哪裡以及你需要什麼幫助。單擊一個按鈕即可立即通知你最信任的人，告知他們你需要幫助的地點，甚至協助他們彼此協調以快速找出最佳的幫助方案。有了 Buoy 和智能手機，你永遠都只需要按下一個按鈕就能接觸到你最信任的人。（我們甚至正在努力支持老式的便攜式電話！）
你不需要下載或安裝特殊軟件才能使用 Buoy。只需使用智能手機內置的 Web 瀏覽器收藏一個頁面，即可獲得立即訪問你的個人緊急響應團隊的訪問權限。快速發送你的位置和預定的定時警報（例如“安全通話”）給他們，或撰寫一條自定義消息。
作為您的緊急聯絡人（“響應團隊”）被選為受害者和倖存者，將收到一個通知，顯示他們在現實世界中的位置以及其他響應者的位置。如果你是能夠安全這樣做的話，你現在可以在一個實時聊天室中與所有響應者協調，或者如果你無法響應，響應者可以相互協調以找出最佳的幫助方案。

原文外掛簡介
Buoy is a decentralized 9-1-1 alternative built for and by people who are not well served by existing emergency response services. Buoy makes it easy to tell your friends where you are and what you need. Buoy’s goal is a world where anyone in distress always has the option to turn to people they trust for support, rather than being forced to rely on people they don’t.
Buoy is not a traditional “app” that you can download in the app store, but rather a system for adding crisis response and emergency dispatch services to existing websites. With Buoy, community groups, activist organizations, and social support service providers can quickly connect people who need help with trusted friends, family members, advocates, and other allies who can help them. It is designed to be community owned and operated, so each instance of Buoy can be customized to the unique needs or the organization or community group that hosts it.
Whether you are a group of street medics coordinating with each other during an action, citizen journalists or copwatchers watching each other’s backs, domestic violence survivor support advocates, or even single parents picking each others’ kids up from school, Buoy helps you get and give peer-based mutual aid to your friends and comrades.
For service providers
Anyone with a WordPress-powered website or blog can add the Buoy software (a 1-click automatic install) to their website, enabling the site’s membership to provide peer-based mutual-aid to one another. Moreover, legal aid service providers, domestic, dating, and intimate partner violence prevention advocates, shelters, social groups, alternative medical and mental health collectives, and others can offer members of their community one-click emergency access to a network of trusted peers and/or on-call emergency responders.
For victims and survivors
Buoy makes it easy to tell your friends where you are and what you need, even in the most dangerous or frightening scenarios. Tapping a single button will immediately notify the people you trust most that you need their help, give them a map showing your exact location, and even helps them coordinate with one another to quickly figure out how to help you best. With Buoy and a smartphone, you are never more than one button press away from the people you trust most. (We are even working to support old-school flipfones!)
You do not need to download or install special software to use Buoy. Simply bookmark a page with your smartphone’s built-in Web browser to gain instant access to your personal emergency response team. Quickly send them your location with a pre-defined custom message, write a custom message, or schedule a timed alert (like a “safe call”) for some time in the future.
The people you select as your emergency contacts (“response team”) will get a notification showing them your location in the real world as well as the locations of any other responders to your call for help. If it’s safe for you to do so, you can now coordinate with all responders in a live chat room, or responders can coordinate amongst themselves about how best to help you if you are unresponsive.
