Direct communication saving lives
In this webinar, we discuss the strategy and thinking behind Kyiv Digital - the app that started as a convenient service to the citizens of Kyiv - with quick access to free parking slots and tickets to public transportation. However, in only a a few days February 2022, the app needed to evolve into a communication tool providing important notifications and direct messages to the people of Kyiv, on very different matters: Air strike warnings, bomb shelter locations, infrastructure disturbances and how, where and when to find electricity or stable internet through Starlink.
In this conversation with the Deputy director of IT in the Kyiv City Council, Victoria Itskovych, we talk about how they established their own communication channel with a city app, reaching more than 2 mill of the citizens of Kyiv - and how that channel has proved vital in a year of crisis, for the country and city.
