So you know in advance — and stay closer to your people.

What InCaseMap is

It is a map and an app that help you know in advance where to take shelter, where to find water and help, and how to get out. The Android app is already on Google Play, and the iPhone version is coming soon. The map can also be opened in a browser, with nothing to install. There are also family and friends groups (during an emergency, one tap sends “I'm safe” or “I need help” and shares your location), neighbourhood communities and alerts and weather. All features are described in How it works.

How InCaseMap began

Work on InCaseMap began on 14 September 2026. The idea came after a night when danger alerts woke the founder several times. In the morning we talked with colleagues. We realised we had all wanted the same thing at that moment: a tool that quickly shows the nearest shelter, water and help.

At first it was meant to be a tool for war and danger information only. We soon saw it could do much more. So InCaseMap is for every situation in life (“in case”): from an air raid alert and evacuation to first aid, a power cut or a storm.

“That night I realised that when danger comes there is no time to search — you need to see at once where to go and what to do. I wanted a tool like that on everyone’s phone.” — Martynas Ulickas, author of the idea

Useful in calm times too

The map has 27 layers and almost 200,000 places in Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and Poland, so it is useful every day:

• Save on fuel — fuel prices at Lithuanian petrol stations, updated daily.
• Charge an electric car — more than 8,000 charging points, with live status: free, busy or out of order.
• Find water — more than 10,000 taps, wells and springs, if you are lost on a hike or run out of water.
• See the road before you set off — almost 1,500 public cameras and road disruptions: closed or hard-to-pass roads.
• Cross a border — border crossings and border queues.
• Weather and nature — wind, rain, temperature, river levels, air pollution and background radiation.
• Travel and aviation — airports, airfields and airstrips, railway and bus stations, bridges and fords, embassies.
• Energy — power transmission lines and gas pipelines along their full length: useful when buying a plot, building or digging.
• Everyday errands — more than 11,000 ATMs and almost 15,000 pharmacies.

Family group in the app

In an emergency, the most important thing is knowing your loved ones are safe. In the family and friends group you see it in seconds:

• Family chat — message each other right in the app, in a private group only invited people can see.
• “I’m safe” or “I need help” — in an emergency, one tap tells everyone and gets you in touch fast.
• Location on the map — see where each group member is when they share their location.
• Last known location — if a phone switched off or lost signal, you see where the person was last.
• Medical cards — see each other’s medical cards, so key information is at hand if help is needed.
• Saved shelters — see which shelters each family member has saved, and know where to look for them.
• Shared meeting point — the family’s shelters and meeting place on everyone’s map.

Why we make it

In an emergency there is no time to search for information on different websites, and the connection may drop. So we gathered the most important places on one map that works on your phone, even offline. The goal is simple: for everyone to see the nearest safe place within seconds and know where their loved ones are.

What the map shows

198,972 places in 27 categories: shelters (88,865), KAS shelters (2,521), evacuation points (3,139), sirens (1,343), hospitals, pharmacies, emergency services, drinking water, bridges, fords, petrol stations, ATMs and more. The full list with counts is on the categories page.

Is InCaseMap an official source?

InCaseMap is not a government authority, but it uses official state data. We take places and information from the institutions responsible for them:

• Fire and Rescue Department (PAGD) — shelters, KAS shelters, evacuation points and sirens (open data, data.gov.lt).
• Lithuanian Hydrometeorological Service (LHMT) — weather forecasts and warnings, weather stations, river levels and rain radar.
• Lithuanian Energy Agency (LEA) — fuel prices at every Lithuanian petrol station.
• Via Lietuva — EV charging points and their status, road disruptions and state road cameras (eismoinfo.lt).
• Radiation Protection Centre (RSC) — background radiation.
• State Border Guard Service (VSAT) — which border crossings are open.
• Ministry of Foreign Affairs (URM) — Lithuanian embassies and consulates.
• Registrų centras (Centre of Registers) — addresses.
• Litgrid — the electricity transmission grid.
• lt72.lt — official civil protection guidance the guides follow.
• Latvia: VUGD (shelters, sirens), LVĢMC (weather, rivers), Latvijas Valsts ceļi. Estonia: Päästeamet, Keskkonnaagentuur, Transpordiamet. Poland: the State Fire Service (KG PSP), IMGW-PIB, GDDKiA and the Government Centre for Security (RCB).

Hospitals, pharmacies, police, fire stations, drinking water, petrol station locations, stations and ATMs in Lithuania, as well as bridges, fords and places to avoid, come from OpenStreetMap (ODbL). This is community data, not state data. Airfields come from OurAirports.

The data updates automatically, as often as the source updates it. Alerts update every 1–2 minutes. Weather warnings, road disruptions and charger status update every 2–10 minutes, fuel prices once a day. River levels update hourly and shelter lists monthly. InCaseMap does not change official information. It puts it on one map that works on your phone, even offline.

The final word always belongs to the authorities: follow their instructions (lt72.lt, LRT radio), and if life is in danger, call 112.

Where the data comes from

• The base map uses data from OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL licence).
• On this website's demo map, markers, distances and notifications are examples and are labelled “Demo”. Real places are shown in the app and in the browser map.

How we keep it accurate

• We write the guides based on official guidance and list the sources in each one.
• Spotted a mistake or a place that has changed? Write to us and we will check and fix it.

What InCaseMap does not do

• It is not an emergency service and does not accept urgent reports. If life is in danger, call 112.
• It is not a government authority: it shows data from official government sources, but does not replace official warnings and instructions.
• The website does not track visitors for advertising: no advertising or tracking cookies, and it does not ask for your location. Statistics cookies (Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity) are set only with your consent.

Non-commercial and free

InCaseMap is a non-commercial project, funded by its creators. The app is free.
