How UpNepa Works
Simple, fast, and community-powered. Learn how to report and track power status.
Open the App & Allow Location
When you open UpNepa, we'll ask for your location. This helps us show reports near you and lets you submit reports for your area.
Privacy Note: Your exact location is never stored. We add ~100m of randomness to protect your privacy while keeping reports accurate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Absolutely. We add ~100 meters of random "fuzzing" to all coordinates before storing them. Your exact location is never saved. We're fully NDPR compliant.
Reports automatically expire after 5 hours. This ensures the map always shows current, relevant data rather than outdated information.
