SOS Children's Villages to Use New Emergency Response Tool


Peter Kuperman is the founder and CEO of Hatch Canada in Toronto, which helps children build skills for the 21st century by teaching them how to code. Outside of his professional life, Peter Kuperman supports various charitable organizations such as SOS Children’s Villages.

SOS Children’s Villages recently announced that it will make use of DHL Resilience 360 to help frame its emergency response efforts across the globe. DHL Resilience 360 is a risk-management initiative that tracks numerous factors that can affect logistics such as disasters, both natural and man-made. Utilizing this technology to track incidents such as earthquakes and floods will help SOS Children’s Villages prevent its operations from being disrupted and can help the organization form better response plans.

Through DHL Resilience 360, SOS Children’s Village will be sent real-time alerts about these disasters in order to ascertain their risk based on the vicinity of the event. They also will have access to satellite imagery to help accurately pinpoint the specific areas that need help and how they can best reach them.
