The UN Commitment to Humanitarian Aid
The United Nations (UN) has been at the forefront of providing humanitarian aid for over 75 years, focusing on eradicating diseases, ensuring access to essential services like water, and safeguarding millions of children globally. With operations in over 8,500 locations, the UN's field-based operations require real-time information to effectively respond to crises and deliver aid promptly.
Enhancing Crisis Response with Dataminr's First Alert
In 2019, the UN collaborated with Dataminr, specifically through the UN Global Pulse innovation lab, to bolster its crisis response capabilities. By leveraging Dataminr's First Alert product, thousands of UN personnel now receive real-time alerts on emerging crises and critical incidents. This empowers them to make timely decisions, ensuring the safety of personnel and enhancing the efficiency of humanitarian aid delivery.

Through real-time alerts, UN staffers can react swiftly to critical situations such as water supply disruptions, aligning with SDG 6 on clean water and sanitation.
