why does this app require access to my current or saved locations?

Actually it doesn't if you are using the lessons and checklists etc. It only applies if you want to use the feature that allows you to input your location and then pull updated physical security country data feeds from the UN and Centre for Disease Control.

Thanks for clarifying. It was an all or nothing option for me - i.e. if I denied location access I couldn't use the app.

You should make this available via F-Droid.

Yep, we are in the process of sorting out it's inclusion. Hopefully should be there within 1 or 2 weeks. If you prefer a direct download version .apk then drop me a mail. You can find the code yourself at https://github.com/securityfirst/Umbrella_android. The code audit is on our blog.

Thanks!

looks interesting which they had an iOS version

We are hoping to do this in 2016, we currently looking for a non-profit funder to be able to develop it. We decided on Android first as it is dominant on cheap devices etc in the developing world.
