Weather & emergency alerts

Localised weather and early-warning alerts, when they matter most.

What it is

Farmers receive localised weather updates and emergency alerts — flood, drought and hazard warnings — over SMS and voice. In a country where ~70% of crop production is rain-fed, timely warning protects livelihoods and lives.
