AI for Community Resilience

AI-powered Resilience Coach sustains community disaster preparedness through continuous, localised guidance in Indonesia

Organization: Yayasan Sakawarga
Country: Indonesia

This initiative employs an AI-powered Resilience Coach, a tool designed to transform one-off disaster programs into continuous community readiness. The Coach uses conversational AI, through voice and text, to learn from prior practice, adapt to local contexts, and provide guidance, delivering critical information on preparedness and response when it is needed most. Building on partnerships with the Red Cross and local governments, it is implemented through Community-Based Action Teams (CBATs), women’s groups, and youth leaders in Indonesian villages. The Coach guides residents through procedures, drills, and risk mapping in their own language, overcoming literacy barriers. By continuously learning and personalizing support, it helps ensure that preparedness is sustained between disasters.
