🌍 GSMA Humanitarian Connectivity Charter National Workshop Pakistan Disasters are inevitable, but preparedness can save lives. A recent workshop organized by GSMA brought together stakeholders from the mobile industry, government, and humanitarian sectors to strengthen Pakistan's disaster resilience through mobile-enabled Early Warning Systems (EWS). The event highlighted collaborative efforts by National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) Pakistan, Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA), UNICEF, ITU, Jazz, Ufone 4G, Telenor, and other key partners, showcasing the critical role of timely alerts and coordinated responses in disaster preparedness and recovery. Mobile networks provide a vital lifeline during emergencies—offering early warnings, enabling collaboration, and supporting affected communities. Since 2015, the GSMA Humanitarian Connectivity Charter (HCC) has been guiding mobile network operators with principles and best practices to prepare for, respond to, and recover from sudden-onset emergencies. At WeatherWalay, we understand the life-saving power of early warnings. Through our hyperlocal weather forecasts and timely alerts, we empower millions across Pakistan with the critical information they need to stay safe. We’re proud to share that Junaid Yamin represented WeatherWalay at this year’s workshop, reinforcing our commitment to building a safer, more resilient future for all. Let’s unite for proactive disaster management and community safety. 🚨 Zohaib J.

Making history in Pakistan! 🌍 The Climate Change Education Series has kicked off at a school — a groundbreaking initiative to empower the next generation with knowledge about our planet’s changing climate. Last week, students were introduced to this exciting journey, and we’re just getting started! As part of this initiative, WeatherWalay will be setting up a science and weather lab in the school by installing a weather station. This will provide students with hands-on learning opportunities and real-time weather data to explore the wonders of science and climate. 🌦️💡 Stay tuned for more updates as we shape young minds for a sustainable future!

Did you know trees are nature’s superheroes? 🌊 Mature trees don't just provide shade or oxygen—they’re also water wizards! But just how much water can a single tree absorb annually? 🌳 - #trees #climatechange #naturaldisaster

Planting Trees: A Natural Solution to Flooding in Pakistan 🌊 Pakistan faces frequent flooding due to its geography, monsoon patterns, and climate change impacts. Planting trees can be a game-changer in mitigating these risks: ☔ Slowing Rainwater Runoff: Tree canopies intercept rainfall, reducing the speed and volume of water reaching the ground. 🧽 Acting as Natural Sponges: Roots absorb and store water, decreasing the likelihood of flash floods. 🏞️ Stabilizing Soil: Tree roots prevent erosion, keeping rivers clear and reducing sediment buildup that can worsen floods. 🚧 Building Natural Barriers: Forests act as buffers, slowing down floodwaters and protecting vulnerable communities. 🌿 Climate Resilience: Trees combat deforestation and desertification, reducing the severity of climate-induced disasters. With increasing floods threatening lives and livelihoods, tree plantation is not just an environmental need but a national priority. Together, let's plant for protection and a sustainable future. 🌱 #FloodPrevention #TreePlantation #SustainablePakistan #ClimateAction
