- Describe the challenge you want to address:
- Many people lack accessible, practical knowledge and resources for urban residents to effectively handle everyday challenges and emergencies**. Many people living in NYC face a combination of risks, including:\n\n1. Personal Safety Concerns:\n - Navigating crowded, high-risk areas (e.g., subways, public spaces) with limited understanding of personal safety practices. \n - Lack of self-defense and de-escalation skills.\n\n2. **Disaster and Emergency Preparedness:** \n - Insufficient knowledge of how to prepare for natural disasters (e.g., floods, hurricanes) and city-specific emergencies like blackouts or transit shutdowns. \n - Limited awareness of available local resources and emergency services.\n\n3. **Health and Mental Wellness Challenges:** \n - Struggles with managing stress and anxiety, especially during crises or urban living pressures. \n - Lack of knowledge about affordable healthcare, mental health resources, and maintaining physical well-being in a fast-paced environment.\n\n4. **Digital Vulnerabilities:** \n - Increasing risks of cyber threats and misinformation, with limited understanding of how to protect personal information and access credible emergency updates.\n\n5. **Community Isolation:** \n - Fragmented networks and a lack of strong community ties that could provide mutual aid during emergencies. \n - Residents often feel unprepared and unsupported in times of crisis due to disconnection.
- What is the solution to the challenge?
- By addressing these issues, the workshops aim to **equip participants with the tools, knowledge, and community support to feel confident, informed, and ready to face urban challenges and emergencies**. The workshops would not only increase individual resilience but also contribute to building stronger, more connected communities in NYC.
