Prepare households for climate risks, concretely.

Ward & Raven helps local governments turn prevention into a resident pathway: local exposure, RavenScore, priority actions, citizen reports, 72h GoBag and territory dashboard.

01Context

Informing is no longer enough. Territories need activation, measurement and field visibility.

Local governments already have essential tools: emergency plans, public information documents, public meetings, prevention campaigns and resilience events. Ward & Raven adds the operational layer that helps residents act and lets the territory see progress.

Understand

Each household sees local exposure: flood, heatwave, drought, soil movement, storm or outage.

Act

Residents receive simple actions adapted to their home, household composition and risks.

Report

During alerts or events, residents can share geolocated field reports with photos.

Measure

The territory follows aggregate progress: activated households, RavenScore, completed actions and signals.

02Problem

The real issue is not only the alert. It is action and field feedback.

Publishing information does not guarantee that households have prepared documents, emergency contacts, 72h autonomy or priority reflexes. When an event occurs, field information is often fragmented across calls, messages, emails and isolated photos.

Too abstract

Residents may know a risk exists without knowing what to do at home.

Few indicators

Services rarely know which households progressed and which actions were done.

Partial field view

Blocked streets, flooded basements, isolated people or outages can remain hard to see quickly.

The crisis starts at home

The first decisions often happen inside the household before full emergency response.

03Solution

A Household Resilience Pathway for your territory.

Pulse guides residents from their address to useful actions. RavenScore makes preparedness readable. Citizen reports add local field signals. The civic dashboard shows aggregate activation, needs and areas to reinforce.

Pulse

The resident app, from local exposure to priority actions.

RavenScore

A preparedness score out of 100 that makes household resilience readable over time.

Citizen reports

Geolocated field feedback with photo, timestamp and risk category.

Civic dashboard

Aggregate activation, progress, needs, areas to reinforce and field reports.

04Resident journey

Simple, fast and actionable.

No endless report. No jargon. A guided pathway designed to help residents understand their risks, complete their plan, prepare 72h autonomy and contribute field signals when appropriate.

Address

A first reading of local exposure.

Preparedness test

A few questions generate an initial RavenScore.

Priority actions

Contacts, documents, meeting point, resources, equipment and 72h autonomy.

Progress

Each completed action improves the score and makes preparedness visible.

05Citizen reports

See what is happening on the ground.

During or after an event, residents can share simple, geolocated and illustrated observations. These reports never replace emergency calls or official procedures; they add a field layer for prevention, prioritization and after-action review.

Photo

A visual signal that helps qualify the situation.

Location

A precise place attached to the observation.

Category

Flooding, heat, outage, blocked access, vulnerable person or other local report.

Follow-up

Signals can support better local understanding after the event.

06Dashboard

A dashboard for steering local resilience.

The local government follows aggregate and anonymized results: activated households, average RavenScore, score progression, completed actions, citizen reports, equipment needs and areas to reinforce.

Map view

Risks, average RavenScore by area, activated households and reports.

Preparedness view

Household preparedness levels and progression.

Report view

Volume, categories, location, status and evolution over time.

Campaign review

A clear summary for elected officials, services, partners and funders.

07Pilot

Launch a territory pilot without overloading your services.

Ward & Raven can be tested on a limited scope with a volunteer cohort, simple indicators and a clear report at the end of the experiment.

Duration

3 to 6 months.

Scope

100 to 500 volunteer households.

Deliverables

Pulse resident pathway, RavenScore, recommendations, citizen reports and civic dashboard.

Best fit

Resilience day, local emergency planning, climate adaptation strategy or pilot neighborhood.
