It seeks to decentralize the information and experience of CADENA so those with the greatest probability of suffering a disaster have the information and organizational capacity to reduce response and recovery time.
During its first ten years, CADENA was mainly dedicated to disaster assistance and constantly going to the same sites, however, pointed to the need to direct efforts to preventive projects.
To achieve this, we designed a program with the purpose of providing knowledge on disaster prevention and attention to vulnerable communities, as well as a range of tools to deal with disasters in a better way.

Participatory research tool designed by CADENA, so that community members can become more aware of the risks posed by disasters, and thus help them reduce their vulnerability and increase their capabilities.
We install water filters in vulnerable communities, even if they haven’t suffered a disaster or emergency. We aim to help communities that do not currently have safe methods of purification, while at the same time preventing lack of water in the event of a disaster or unforeseen circumstances.
We install seismic alerts equipped with the latest Israeli technology. We train entire populations in earthquake response, simulation protocols, evacuation and in the operation of the alerting team.
