Prevention

Resilience-Building

Building Resilient Communities.

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.

THROUGH OUR PREVENTION AND RESILIENCE-BUILDING PROGRAMS, WE HELP PEOPLE BE BETTER PREPARED AND FACE DISASTERS IN A BETTER WAY.

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.

MARES Participative Diagnosis

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.

Water for Mexico

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.

Seismic Alerts

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.
