While early warning systems (EWS) have advanced, critical gaps remain in reaching underserved last mile communities and ensuring actionable responses to disasters. According to the Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS), between 2015 and 2020, less than 30% of the population received effective early warnings. Recognizing these challenges, Practical Action implemented the \u2018Digital Innovation in Early Warning Systems-Building Climate Resilience in Bangladesh\u2019 project, supported by ADPC and the World Bank. This initiative bridges gaps in EWS through technology and inclusive community-based solutions, emphasizing gender-sensitive approaches to ensure early warnings for all.<\/p>\n<p>Practical Action is a global development charity, building sustainable lives and livelihoods on the frontlines of poverty and climate change. Practical Action in Bangladesh focuses on improving living conditions for people living in poverty, supporting them to prosper and overcome the most challenging conditions in rural and urban areas.<\/p>\n<p class=\"pf0\">[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Empowering Communities through Technology&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h2|font_size:16|text_align:left|color:%234486bf&#8221; google_fonts=&#8221;font_family:Open%20Sans%3A300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C600%2C600italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C800%2C800italic|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal&#8221;][vc_column_text css_animation=&#8221;fadeIn&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Practical Action developed a MOTS (Modified, Modifiable, or Military Off-the-Shelf) software solution with an app whose features reflect the mission to build disaster-resilient communities by combining technology with community-driven solutions. By addressing gaps in traditional early warning systems and ensuring gender-sensitive, inclusive access by analyzing user persona, the app is transforming how vulnerable populations respond to disasters.<\/p>\n<p>The mobile-based application \u2018Disaster Alert for BD\u2019 or \u2018Disaster Alert App\u2019 creates a mechanism to coordinate organizations in real time, ensuring that risk reduction efforts are coherent and response efforts leave no one overlooked or left behind. During emergency responses, nearby communities often receive the maximum help, while distant ones remain relatively deprived. In emergencies, the application coordinates key agencies, field volunteers, and impacted communities. The system ensures that volunteers receive timely notifications and are directed to provide assistance at appropriate locations. It also enables community members to locate the nearest service point for their specific needs or request support from volunteers to their location. This mechanism helps mitigate overlaps and gaps in efforts, optimizing the overall response strategy. The usage statistics underscore the app\u2019s role in reducing disaster-induced losses and damages, supporting the project\u2019s goal of creating a safer and more resilient Bangladesh.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row parallax=&#8221;content-moving&#8221; parallax_image=&#8221;21108&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1765981881785{background-position: center;background-repeat: no-repeat;background-size: cover !important;}&#8221;][vc_column css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1694155939882{background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}&#8221;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;350px&#8221;][vc_btn title=&#8221;Project CPP volunteer supporting project participant on app installation.&#8221; size=&#8221;xs&#8221; align=&#8221;left&#8221; i_icon_fontawesome=&#8221;fas fa-info-circle&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;fadeIn&#8221; add_icon=&#8221;true&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;How the Disaster Alert App Works?&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h2|font_size:16|text_align:left|color:%234486bf&#8221; google_fonts=&#8221;font_family:Open%20Sans%3A300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C600%2C600italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C800%2C800italic|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal&#8221;][vc_column_text css_animation=&#8221;fadeIn&#8221;]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Users register their profiles on the Disaster Alert App for free, with assistance if needed.

After losing his home to Cyclone SIDR in 2007, he joined the Cyclone Preparedness Programme (CPP) to support his community. In 2024, he took a pivotal step by volunteering with Practical Action under ADPC\u2019s iCARE project.<\/p>\n<p>Equipped with training and the Disaster Alert for BD app, Anupam became a proactive leader. Beyond traditional methods like using a handheld mic, he collaborated with women-led volunteer groups to ensure effective warning dissemination. His efforts prioritized the vulnerable \u2014 elderly, children, and those unable to evacuate independently.<\/p>\n<p>When Cyclone Remal struck in May 2024, Anupam mobilized his community with swift, coordinated action. His leadership inspired over 30 youth volunteers to assist in evacuations and secure livelihoods.<\/p>\n<p>Reflecting on his experience, Anupam said, \u201cThis year, I received warnings from both my CPP team leader and the Disaster Alert for BD mobile app. I preferred the app because I can check updates anytime, without depending on others, and can take proactive action to save my community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Through his resilience and the app\u2019s timely warnings, Anupam empowered his community, saving lives and becoming a symbol of hope and preparedness in Sriula.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Enhancing Capacity and Knowledge Sharing&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h2|font_size:16|text_align:left|color:%234486bf&#8221; google_fonts=&#8221;font_family:Open%20Sans%3A300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C600%2C600italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C800%2C800italic|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal&#8221;][vc_column_text css_animation=&#8221;fadeIn&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>The \u2018Digital Innovation in Early Warning Systems-Building Climate Resilience in Bangladesh\u2019 project has reached 38,643 direct beneficiaries through the Disaster Alert for BD app. The project&#8217;s focus on training ensures that individuals and organizations are well-equipped to leverage the Disaster Alert App and other early warning tools effectively. The training covers critical aspects of early warning systems, such as the use of the Disaster Alert App, volunteer mobilization, access to weather information, understand the warning and response coordination. It also emphasizes gender-sensitive approaches to ensure women\u2019s participation and accessibility. Periodic refresher training sessions have been conducted to reinforce skills and introduce updates on new app features.<br \/>\nThe project successfully trained 1490 individuals from diverse sectors, including private sector organizations, community volunteers, and professional groups. Overall, there was a balanced participation, with 51% male and 49% female involvement through intervention.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column
