Humanitarian Information Sharing
In Disaster Response
Information is a vital form of aid
in itself. Disaster affected
people need information as
much as water, food, medicine,
or shelter.
IFRC World Disasters Report, 2005
Disaster Response – Information as Aid:
Disaster intelligence – situation reporting & special activations
Urgent Needs - public and partner requests for information.
Surge Support - community needs digital surge support assistance
Disaster Preparedness
Exercise development, Crowd simulation
Social Media Training and Support services
Process Improvement
Tools testing, subject matter expertise
Global 501c3 NGO public charity

The public, operating through social media such as Twitter, Facebook,
YouTube become a source of information.

Editor's Notes

  1. Information is a vital form of aid in itself. Disaster affected people need information as much as water, food, medicine, or shelter. Getting this information through the response chain is not always easy, verification is possible but it takes long hours of diligent research and verification steps.
  2. We help synthesize data from social media into early reports. This information is disaster intelligence. We data mine and report information within hours of an event providing disaster intelligence, situation reporting. We help resolve urgent needs by connecting the public to solutions which may be government agencies, aid providers or other humanitarians. Here are the services we provide as part of our mission goals.
  3. In real time, the public is sharing key information that is relevant and useful to disaster response agencies, aid agencies, civ-mil and humanitarians locally as well as globally. Philippines have mastered the art of social media emergency management. After Haiti, crowdsourcing was used by day four, after Sandy more than 30 crowdsourcing maps and efforts emerged. Philippines has Project Agos. They work in conjuction with the ETC cluster and under the PIO urgent needs are routed for solution.
  4. Philippines have mastered the art of social media emergency management. After Haiti, crowdsourcing was used by day four, after Sandy more than 30 crowdsourcing maps and efforts emerged. Members of the Data Mining and Machine Learning Lab at Arizona State University used a tool known as TweetTracker to aggregate and analyze a timeline of the volume of tweets which indicated a decline in volume of tweets over time from within impacted areas (this was noted as occurring at the same time as requests for generators and fuel across the impacted footprint were increasing). Also used by Humanity Road is a prototype tool (SBIR N121-092) being developed by Progeny Systems which provided critical filtering capabilities that eliminated much of the noise.
  5. We are a hyper connected world, our ability to restore this connectivity is improving rapidly through this program and through new NGO’s and communication initiatives.. - The sea of information is overwhelming. In 2011 we assessed a field aid station that was servicing 200 – 400 people daily. When a digital service center was stood up, citizens helped themselves at kiosks and 1,000 – 2,000 each day were serviced but this can only happen where bandwidth and knowledge of technology can accommodate the solution. Empowering the community to help themselves through technology will improve disaster response. In the area of identifying and improving communications, heat maps showing the geographic footprint of social media conversations can help improve the common operating picture. - One Knock - One user, one record – relational and interactive data base solutions that create single data streams will reduce duplicated efforts and duplicated records.
