Civilians in conflict zones lack reliable early warning systems for imminent military attacks

Residents of border towns like Birao face recurring threats of armed assault with minimal advance notice, forcing families to make life-or-death evacuation decisions with incomplete information. Current solutions—government alerts, radio broadcasts, word-of-mouth—fail to provide timely, accurate, hyperlocal threat intelligence. People desperately need real-time situational awareness to protect themselves and their families from violence.
