Describe what you noticed
Choose Nassau or Suffolk County, select the type of concern, and indicate what you know about the government level responsible.
A SIMPLE, TRANSPARENT PROCESS
From a local concern to a clearer next step.
Civic Compass is designed to help you investigate, not to guess or make a report on your behalf.
Review official starting resources
Civic Compass points to government directories and other official pages that can help you check the location and agency.
Verify the exact jurisdiction
A road, sidewalk, crosswalk, and traffic signal may be handled by different agencies. Confirm responsibility for the exact place.
Prepare a message if useful
Review and edit the message, verify the recipient through an official source, then decide whether to send it yourself.
What Civic Compass does—and doesn't do
- It provides educational guidance and official starting resources.
- It does not guarantee which agency is responsible.
- It does not automatically send, forward, or track government reports.
- Photos selected in the app are previewed locally and are not uploaded by Civic Compass.
- Location lookup is optional; always review the suggested location.
