WOMEN SAFETY app which send near safe location to userMahindraKumar9
Creating a women's safety app is a commendable initiative to address the safety concerns that women may face in various situations. Such apps typically aim to provide features and tools that empower women to take control of their safety. Here are some common features found in women's safety apps:
Emergency SOS button:
A prominent and easily accessible button that, when pressed, sends an immediate alert to predefined contacts or emergency services with the user's location.
Location tracking:
Real-time location sharing with trusted contacts, allowing them to monitor the user's whereabouts.
Check-in and virtual escort:
Users can set a timer for their journey, and if they don't check in within a specified time, the app sends an alert to their contacts.
In-app chat and call support:
A feature allowing users to contact emergency services directly within the app or connect with a helpline for assistance.
Audio and video recording:
The ability to discreetly record audio or video to capture evidence in case of an incident.
Community features:
A community-driven platform where users can share safety tips, report incidents, and provide support to each other.
Safety tips and resources:
Information and resources on personal safety, self-defense, and emergency procedures.
Geofencing:
Users can set geographical boundaries, and if they leave or enter these areas, alerts are sent to designated contacts.
Inclusion of wearable devices:
Integration with smartwatches or other wearables for quick access to safety features.
Feedback and reporting system:
A mechanism for users to provide feedback, report issues, or suggest improvements, helping developers continuously enhance the app.
When developing a women's safety app, it's crucial to prioritize user privacy and data security. Additionally, collaborating with law enforcement agencies, local authorities, and women's safety organizations can strengthen the effectiveness and impact of the app. Regular updates, user education, and community engagement are essential for the long-term success of such applications.
Webinar: How to Get Leadership Support for Your Disaster Recovery Plan Malika Bennett
1) The webinar discussed how to get leadership support for disaster recovery plans. Eileen Unger of Emergency Preparedness Partnerships presented on stakeholder analysis and engagement to overcome obstacles.
2) Stakeholder analysis identifies key stakeholders, their interests, influence, and importance. The most important stakeholders require different engagement approaches.
3) Effective disaster recovery planning requires commitment from leadership, allocation of resources, and clear ownership of the process. Stakeholder management is key to gaining support and overcoming obstacles.
Safety concerns are central to all humanitarian work. The responsibility for personal safety lies both with individuals and the organizations they are working for and with. But how can humanitarian professionals mitigate risks and limit their exposure to violence while working in a violent area? How can individuals and organizations avoid being targets for violence? What are the procedures and systems that can ensure safety on mission, and what can individuals and organizations do to improve safety?
This session opened a discussion on both personal and systemic approaches to avoiding and mitigating safety risks involved in humanitarian work.

Natural disasters are increasing in intensity and frequency. Preparing for disasters requires understanding how risks differently impact men and women. Disaster preparedness is most effective when communities have inclusive plans and communication with government. However, women's roles in mitigation and preparation are often overlooked. To ensure gender-inclusive preparedness, experts recommend conducting gender analysis, including women in assessments and response coordination, and developing common assessment tools.
The document summarizes the work of the Saritsa Foundation, a charity that aims to empower women and reduce risks from disasters through education and training. The Foundation conducts mobile workshops teaching women in rural India how to prepare for, respond to, and minimize risks from disasters. A recent workshop educated over 250 women and girls in Maharashtra on disaster risk reduction and prepared them to be trainers themselves through interactive lessons, mock drills, and a buddy system approach. The Foundation seeks to give vulnerable women equal opportunities to protect themselves, their families, and livelihoods from hazards through capacity building.
Women have to play different and diversified role in personal and social life. if we can take advantage of their personal, family and social role, we have a great opportunity to prepare our women who are playing role as mother, wife, sister, daughter, nurse etc in daily life as risks manager. if every family can minimize or avoid it's risk, the community can also minimize or tackle the risk in better way. At the same time, in any disaster or economic recession the women and children have to fall in the most vulnerable situation. in this presentation, i have tried to show that if we can plan to prepare our women to become as risks manager we will be able to face the risks, can minimize the impact of risks output and take the opportunities to develop ourselves.
Women play a key role in risk management as they often face more risks than men and are responsible for caring for their families. The document discusses how empowering women through education, entrepreneurship, and community involvement can help them better prepare for and manage risks and disasters. It argues that if women are trained and supported as risk managers, families and communities will be better able to avoid risks, reduce their impacts, and pursue opportunities for development.

The technologies of tomorrow are at the heart of our daily life and work, touching all aspects of our lives in countless ways. Organizations and individuals that prioritize digital innovation are achieving remarkable results. The advancement of technologies has seen new digital highways emerge, and on these highways, we desperately need to foster greater cybersecurity. Digitalization and cybersecurity must evolve hand in hand.
Cybersecurity is becoming the most important security topic of the future. The threat landscape is changing constantly and, probably, by the time you have finished reading this article, a new vulnerability was discovered. It is for this reason that the foundation of knowledge and best strategies is so important, and the need for skilled cybersecurity professionals is more crucial than ever.
In cybersecurity, and in tech in general the need to gather diverse input and perspective to meet cyber-threats and technology road-blocks grows by the minute.
To close industry’s skills gap, to continue developing the world’s cyber workforce of the future, we must make cybersecurity education an integral part of our culture, taught and evangelized across genders, ages, and organizational sectors. For statistically, global shortages in talent affecting 82% of organizations.
Now is the time for women to step into emerging technologies and cybersecurity industries. Reskilling is a great issue. Inclusion is as important as innovation. We will have to go into learning mode, be willing to be taught.
Founded by Carmen Marsh, 100 Women in 100 Days Cybersecurity Career Accelerator creates more career pathways for women wanting to further build security expertise, advance their security knowledge or start a career in cybersecurity.
Talented and highly qualified technologist, born leader and role model, Mrs. Carmen March invests her passion, knowledge and faith to educate and mentor women in cybersecurity.
The brightest stars are those who shine for the benefit of others. Carmen Marsh is this star.

There are simple steps ordinary people can take to avoid, mitigate, and at times eliminate the security dangers that arise in everyday life.
Saritsa Foundation adds a simple and workable solution to move ahead to empower women and girls to win over an important cause of their suffering and poverty - losses of lives and means of livelihood disasters. Saritsa Foundation takes Disasters Risk Reduction practices to the houses and families of these disadvantage women. Saritsa Foundation has recognized that this needs a ripple of change in our hearts and minds to empower women by taking care of their Right to Life Security in disasters. Consequently, it needs awareness, access to information, education and training to move them in a state of mind where they develop an action plan to minimize risks. In India, most of these women belong to weaker sections ,including Scheduled castes/Scheduled tribes/backward classes and Muslim and Christian minority who are mostly living in rural areas and urban pockets without any access to prepare to protect.
Saritsa Foundation endeavors to mainstream these women to provide equal opportunity to bring about a change in minds of women to be confident to protect themselves and their children and families to reduce risks.
The team of Saritsa Foundation reached to these groups of women in Sindhudurg district of Maharashtra state in Mangaon. The team led by its Director General conducted workshops from 14 to 15 March in association of Collector of the district, an NGO Nirmalgiri (A Christian MISSION to serve humanitarian causes ) 300 women and girls took part in these workshops enthusiastically to learn to protect in disasters and be Trainers and Motivators to their family members.

Dr Marc Bush discusses the benefits and risks of digital connectivity for young people. While social media can offer social and emotional benefits, it also increases the risk of harm, though young people may not recognize these risks. In response, most platforms have added safety features. To build resilience, experts must work with schools, charities, governments, and companies to educate young people on risks and develop their digital skills. Evaluating a youth mental health campaign, Dr Bush found proactive and pro-social engagement by young people led to greater empowerment and improved outcomes than passive activities. Peer support can prevent issues and create shared experiences that benefit mental health.

Ongoing risk communication through various means can help develop preparedness over time.
The benefits challenges and cautions of memorializing tragedy (mahauganee shaw)Learning Manager
The document discusses the benefits, challenges, and cautions of memorializing tragedies on college campuses. Some key benefits of memorials include providing a designated gathering place for families and the community to commemorate the tragedy, promoting connection and collective processing of grief, and offering a symbol of community honor. Challenges involve educating newcomers about the history and sustaining memories over time. A caution is that memorials could potentially reinjure those still deeply impacted by reopening wounds. The document advocates considering these factors when deciding whether and how to memorialize tragic events.
LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
