After being vetted by data analysts, reports from the Early Warning Network are fed into the Crisis Tracker, a public website that provides near-real-time information on current LRA activity and the activity of other armed groups operating in this region of central Africa. This system allows for more rapid and thorough confirmation of security incidents, giving humanitarians, conservation and security actors, and communities the information necessary to prepare for and mitigate the effects of wildlife and natural resource exploitation and armed violence.

The need for an Early Warning Radio Network was initially identified by a local organization in DRC called Commission Diocésaine pour Justice et Paix (CDJP). Its implementation was further recommended after Human Rights Watch, UN DDR/RR, and Invisible Children assessments in the region. Communities participating in the project do so voluntarily. They have been identified by their susceptibility to armed violence, location along known illicit poaching routes, and their lack of communication infrastructure necessary to report and receive security information.

Today, the Early Warning Radio Network facilitates twice-daily security broadcasts between 66 HF radios and 29 satellite phones, protecting over 80 communities. Invisible Children is constantly expanding the Early Warning Radio Network in order to improve the accuracy of reports and connect more communities to this life-saving mechanism. Invisible Children is also refurbishing non-operational and abandoned HF radios in CAR and DRC. In some areas, satellite phones have been integrated into the Early Warning Radio Network, allowing for more rapid expansion of the network and giving communities the ability to hide their communication equipment more easily in case of an attack.
