Download Research: SafeWaves Emergency Kit and Radio Deployment in Conflict Zones

ABSTRACT

SOS KIT is a humanitarian project aimed at addressing dire situations to provide displaced and vulnerable populations affected by conflict with medical relief and stability, in the form of effective communication. These types of communities are typically vulnerable to crises because most of them lack access to medical systems and accurate information, which is likely to be the case. The SOS KIT system deploys portable emergency safety kits, each one in its own criminal equality equipped with a fundamental first care pack and a solar-powered, multi-frequency radio polarized to secure exceptional frequencies. Such broadcasts give evacuation instructions, as well as public health guidance and culturally neutral music that is meant to support physical security and psychological resilience. To create a lasting and sustainable success, the project sources local repair people and non-governmental organisations (NGOs), in a manner that would permit decentralisation of maintenance and training. Some of the United Nations goals of Asia and Pacific Governments that this project relates to include SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-Being) and SDG 16 (Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions). In addition to the description of this project, its aims, and current stage of development, a set of strategic directions towards future development of the Program is proposed, and the best practices used in the humanitarian response field are coupled with the field-based evidence received by this project
