Improving disaster response through better information sharing.
TOPICS: DISASTERS
In response to disasters, information is of the essence to steer aid where it is needed most, respond and coordinate. With the increasing importance of information and communication technology, new opportunities arise for responders and communities to connect, and increasingly, we see the collective action and grass-roots initiatives that play an important role, leading to a more volatile and dynamic environment. One of the main challenges is how to orchestrate information flows between the different emerging actors to ensure the right information is received by the right people at the right time.
