Environmentally responsive app generates safer camp layouts for government- and NGO first- responders

Women and girls make up half of all displaced people, but only 4.5% of aid protects their rights.

The configuration of emergency shelter encampments compounds violence. The physical layout of housing, hygiene and service areas rarely include women’s actual needs for survival and safety. As a result, many women and girls never seek shelter or relief.

Safegrid is an environmentally responsive AI-augmented mobile app that provides a digital blueprint for rapid emergency shelter deployment prioritizing the safety and hygiene needs of women and girls. 

 

Utilizing the technology of land survey apps to measure and mark terrain, first responders can quickly deploy shelter encampments according to responsive blueprints that maximizes stakeholder safety.
