Preparing for and responding to emergencies
We worked with the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) to create a series of videos to help communities understand how to prepare for different hazards and emergencies, what to do when they happen, and what to do after they occur.
The videos have also been translated and voiced over into 20 different languages.
Multilingual videos about measles and MMR vaccine
We partnered with Health New Zealand | Te Whatu Ora to produce these animated videos. They are available in 20 different languages in addition to English, to provide greater access to important health information.
