Through Factal’s free NGO program, Amnesty’s security team can cut through the noise and focus only on what truly matters, all backed by a newsroom of experienced journalists verifying information in real time. “I appreciate the effort by the Factal editorial team that goes into monitoring sources that are less easy to access, in languages that are less easy to cover,” says Thomas de Lacoste, Deputy Director of Security at Amnesty International.

The image depicts a conference room where a group of people is seated at tables. They are engaged in discussions or listening intently, with several individuals typing on laptops. The focus is on a large digital screen displaying an emergency management briefing. The screen is divided into several sections; the left shows text on a blue background while the right displays a satellite image of a swirling storm. The setting appears to be a formal meeting or briefing related to a tropical storm.
