About the Message Library
The Message Library is an online, searchable database of prepositioned messages providing a starting point for those wanting to rapidly disseminate critical information to affected populations. Messages can be filtered using the drop-down menus to find ones relevant to the population you are working with. Please read our User Guide and FAQ which provide guidance on how these messages should be contextualised and used. The Library can be used both as a disaster preparedness tool and following the outbreak of an emergency. Context-specific libraries exist for Bangladesh and South Sudan.
The Message Library was originally developed by BBC Media Action and Internews' infoasaid project in collaboration with different UN clusters. Translators Without Borders and its partner Microsoft have contributed a wide selection of translations to the Message Library.
