I’m exhausted and disheartened as an attendant at @MaxHealthcare Hospital, Saket. Every promise of “patient experience” and “care” feels like just words on paper—never real action. Last night, my sister was locked inside a washroom for 1/2 hour, exhausted & scared when came out.
We are not just numbers or nuisances. We are people, caring for our sick, exhausted and scared. We deserve clean toilets, a place to sit, a moment to rest. We deserve to be seen, heard, and treated with compassion. Please, do better. Please, remember our humanity.
Disaster #resilience begins at the local level. We must strengthen our partnerships and invest in early warning systems to protect our most vulnerable communities. Together, we can build a safer future." — Kamal Kishore, SRSG, @UNDRR

The project uses Sunny Lives, an AI model based on satellite imagery, the kind available on every phone, to interpret disaster risk at house cluster level. It then powers local volunteers to inform families in harm’s way about the specificity of the damage, and actions to take.
