Safeture software aids NGO's disaster response
The NGO SAVE (Synergy for Aid and Volunteer Efforts) successfully coordinated its post-earthquake relief efforts using Safeture AB's communication software.
Safeture AB, a provider of risk-communication solutions, has supported the NGO SAVE (Synergy for Aid and Volunteer Efforts) in managing relief operations following a major earthquake. The organization faced significant communication challenges as conventional channels, including landlines and social media, became unavailable or were restricted.
SAVE's crisis relief team identified an urgent need to contact clients and assess damages. The situation was complicated by government restrictions on certain communication platforms, rendering manual status checks and outreach nearly impossible due to their scale.
The solution came in the form of Safeture's software and mobile application, accessed through their insurance partner, Trustworthy Insurances. The platform provided real-time data on the earthquake's location, magnitude, and impact, enabling the team to identify the most affected areas and plan interventions. Safeture's "Are you OK" check-in feature facilitated rapid status assessments and identification of individuals requiring assistance.
Safeture AB's system served as a central hub for information sharing and team coordination, irrespective of members' locations. This streamline the crisis response process and improved efficiency. SAVE emphasized the critical importance of reliable, redundant communication channels, highlighting that reliance on public networks alone is insufficient during disasters.
