Welcome to
the Digital First Aid Kit!
A kit designed to get you to the right CiviCERT team
The Digital First Aid Kit is a free resource to help rapid responders, digital security trainers, and tech-savvy activists to better protect themselves and the communities they support against the most common types of digital emergencies. It can also be used by activists, human rights defenders, bloggers, journalists or media activists who want to learn more about how they can protect themselves and support others. If you or someone you are assisting is experiencing a digital emergency, the Digital First Aid Kit will guide you in diagnosing the issues you are facing, and refer you to support providers for further help if needed.
What problem are you facing?

Select the problem you are facing and the Digital First Aid Kit will walk you through a set of questions to better diagnose the problem and find resources to help you. For problems you cannot tackle on your own, the DFAK has a list of support organizations for you to consult with.

What else do you need to know?

The Digital First Aid Kit is not meant to serve as the ultimate solution to all your digital emergencies. If you feel uncertain about how to address the issues you are facing, please reach out to the list of support organizations you can consult with.

Feeling overwhelmed?

Online harassment, threats, and other kinds of digital attacks can create huge a burden on your feelings and well-being. Read our Self-care tips to find out more resources and organizations for support and mitigation.
