We recognize the disproportionate impact of climate change on vulnerable communities, and factors like poverty and limited resources make them even more at risk.
Because of this, Komunidad developed the ASCEND program, focusing on two pivotal campaigns: #EarlyWarningsforAll and #ClimateActionAwareness. These campaigns serve as the foundation of our efforts to empower communities through technology, education, and community development to help them become more resilient in the face of climate change.
Curbeet is a chat app that helps individuals be more proactive in protecting themselves and their communities. It provides users with critical alerts and useful information for Rain, Wind, Heat Index, Lightning, Thunderstorms, Tropical Cyclones, Government Advisories, Mosquito Activity Index and more.
The local alerts is powered by Komunidad to ensure data quality while the chat function is powered by OpenAI for supporting and useful information.
The app is free and has premium paid subscription plans.

Komunidad organized Adapt Asia and KomunidadXchange as part of its #EarlyWarningsforAll and #ClimateActionAwareness campaign.
These initiatives serve as platforms for knowledge-sharing, bringing together diverse sectors to foster collaboration in addressing climate change.
By facilitating these opportunities, Komunidad aims to create an environment where ideas, best practices, and innovative solutions are shared, leading to collective efforts to tackle climate challenges.
In November 2022, the first Adapt Asia forum was held in Makati City, Philippines, bringing together leaders and practitioners from across Asia who shared innovative solutions to advance climate adaptation and resilience in their communities. The forum provided a platform for discussing and learning about effective strategies to address the challenges of climate change.
KomunidadXchange fireside chat is a series of informal exchanges, knowledge sharing, and networking activities that bring together diverse sectors to share valuable insights, learnings, and impactful approaches to addressing climate risks and impacts across and within sectors.
From training programs and educational resources to advanced data and robust digital platforms, Komunidad equips vulnerable communities in the Philippines with the skills, knowledge and tools to respond effectively to climate-related challenges.
We also actively collaborate with stakeholders and engage with local leaders to ensure contextually relevant, inclusive and sustainable interventions.
