Are you ready to become part of the movement?

When it comes to substance use, knowledge is power.
The SOAR Initiative offers Deadly Batch Alerts systems for communities of any size, from cities and counties to provinces and states. Based on a successful pilot program in Ohio, SOAR’s bidirectional system is unlike any other—it allows community members and public health officials alike to submit reports of bad batches or overdose surges. Reports that spark concern can be immediately sent to your network of subscribers, combining grassroots knowledge with institutional data to save lives.
Deadly Batch Alerts help you gather data from diverse sources.
Whether you’re looking for greater invovlement of the community in your public health efforts, lack good data about where and why overdoses are occuring, or want to keep a pulse on emerging drug trends in your region, Deadly Batch Alerts connect you to the most knowledgable individuals near you. Leverage the power of crowdsourcing to fight against overdose mortality.
Partner with SOAR to build quickly and scale easily.
Don’t go it alone—save time and money with our prebuilt software.
Many organizations are ready to invest in an alerts system but balk at the cost of hiring technology specialists to create a solution from scratch. SOAR has spent over three years perfecting our Deadly Batch Alerts software in Ohio, making it easier than ever to bring alerts to your region without breaking the bank on a custom platform.
Customize your alerts to each community you serve.
SOAR’s software is built in increments called “regions,” and it’s up to you to decide how many regions you want, how big they’ll be, and what type of alerts they’ll receive. City neighborhoods, clusters of rural counties, and sprawling suburbs each have their own drug trends, and our system allows you to get granular with who recieves each alert you send.

Choose the features that suit your budget.
Pricing is per region. Organizations seeking multiple regions (i.e., a statewide system) are eligible for discounts on both setup fees and monthly costs.
