Technology
ALERA-FI
Technology for integrated flood monitoring.
Brings fragmented flood-related information together into one operational platform.
A youth-led flood resilience initiative on the Citarum River
AlirCita
Spot the Rises. Protect the Lives.
Strengthening local flood resilience through technology and capacity building.
AlirCita is a youth-led initiative developing a community-based approach to flood resilience.
The challenge
Scattered flood information
Flood data sits across different sources, so it is hard to see how conditions are changing.
Few chances to build skills
Local youth need practical ways to learn community flood monitoring.
Where AlirCita comes in
We combine technology and capacity building to strengthen local flood resilience, connecting better access to flood information with people who are prepared to use it.
TechnologyCapacity buildingCommunity action
Turning flood information into community action.
AlirCita strengthens local flood resilience through two connected components.
Capacity building
Flood Preparedness Workshop
Building local capacity for flood preparedness.
Equips local youth with flood preparedness knowledge and hands-on flood monitoring skills to support their communities.
Community action
Together, ALERA-FI and the workshop help communities act on flood information, before the water rises.
Our journey so far.
From a first conversation with local volunteers to funding for our first implementation.
01Where it started
The seed of ALERA-FI
It began with conversations with the Jaga Balai Majalaya volunteer team about the pain points they face in flood preparedness and in getting timely flood information.

- Beyond
Explore expansion
Explore opportunities to adapt the AlirCita model for more flood-prone communities along the Citarum River.
Starting in Majalaya. Growing along the Citarum.
We envision flood-prone communities where local people have the knowledge, information, and tools to better understand changing flood conditions and support their communities.
Majalaya is the starting point for AlirCita's first implementation. From there, we aim to learn, improve, and build an approach that can be adapted for more communities along the Citarum River.
