<p>The Call for Code initiative aims to harness the collective power of the global open source developer community against the growing threat of natural disasters. <a href="https://developer.ibm.com/dwblog/2018/call-code-open-organizations-lining-join-cause/">According to IBM,</a> “the goal is to develop technology solutions that significantly improve disaster preparedness, provide relief from devastation caused by fires, floods, hurricanes, tsunamis and earthquakes, and benefit Call for Code’s charitable partners — the United Nations Human Rights Office and the American Red Cross.”</p>
<p>In a recent webcast — How 22M Developers Take on Disaster Preparedness — Mary Glackin, SVP of Science & Forecast at The Weather Company and IBM Business, spoke with representatives from participating organizations about the initiative and some of the specific goals it aims to achieve.</p>
<p>The Call for Code is “encouraging the global community of developers to stand up for the rights of others,” said Laurent Sauveur, Chief of External Relations, UN Human Rights. </p>
<p>We invite you to amplify the initiative and join the call. You can learn more about the Call for Code and watch the complete webcast here: <a href="http://ibm.biz/BdYxHZ">http://ibm.biz/BdYxHZ</a>.</p>
