Early Warning System for Violence PreventionThis program watches for early signs that violence might happen in communities. They collect information from many sources and share reports with community leaders and organizations. The system helps groups prepare for and respond to threats before they become bigger problems. They create regular reports about risk trends at the national and state level. They also provide special monitoring and support for high-risk states. The goal is to help communities stay safe by getting ahead of dangerous situations.

Cross-Sector Collaboration and ConveningThis service helps different community groups meet and work together to prevent violence and make neighborhoods safer. They organize meetings where organizations can share ideas, plan projects, and build partnerships to solve community problems together.

Early Action and Response Support for CommunitiesThis service helps community leaders get ready for and respond to political violence and threats. The team provides training, tools, and advice to help communities stay safe. They connect local groups with resources and help them build plans for when dangerous situations happen. In eight high-risk states, they give extra personalized support. The service includes alerts about emerging threats and direct help for community leaders who need to respond quickly to violence or safety concerns.
