SHE-LEADS: From Screen2Safety | Turning Early Warnings Into Community Preparedness

Описание: Floods, droughts, storms, and fires are increasing across Africa and around the world.
Early warnings and preparedness information now travel quickly through phones, radios, and social media.

But there is a gap many preparedness systems overlook.

Risk information often reaches our screens…
yet it does not always reach our streets.

Real safety begins when knowledge reaches homes, families, and neighbours.

This video introduces SHE-LEADS: From Screen2Safety, a community-focused disaster preparedness initiative that helps translate risk information into practical community action.

The model is simple:

Screen → Street → Safety

• Screen – early warnings and preparedness guidance shared online or through official communication channels
• Street – information moving through trusted community networks
• Safety – households and communities prepared before disasters occur

Across many societies, women already play a key role in sharing information, supporting families, and coordinating community response. SHE-LEADS strengthens this role by helping preparedness knowledge move beyond digital spaces into everyday community practice.

Preparedness does not require expensive equipment.

A prepared household can influence a street.
A prepared street can strengthen a community.

As you follow this series, take one preparedness insight and share it with someone who may never see it online.

Because resilience grows when knowledge moves through communities.

Leave No One Behind.
