Localized early warning voice messages

Abstract

Based on Flood Resilience Measurement for Communities (FRMC) data and community input, Practical Action identified a need for flood early warning messages to reach the most vulnerable in Faridpur District, Bangladesh. Using information from the national forecast, Practical Action develops understandable and actionable voice messages and sends them to registered mobile phone numbers to warn communities when there is a flooding risk and advise them on protective and life-saving actions to take.
