                 1
Disaster Management today
• Lots of communication and
  IT tools, but …
• Limited content e.g. maps,
  HIC, Reliefweb, IRIN
• Training, mainly on use of
  hardware and software –
  not content
• Some training on peace
  keeping
• New technology not easiely
  available

                           2
Some good practice
• GSM network in Kabul

• Early warning systems
• Tampere Convention
• GooB – Governance out of
  a Box

• Banda Aceh after the
  tsunami

• Muzaffarabad earthquake
                            3
ICT Gaps in Crises and Disaster
            Management
• No clear mandate and
  communication lines
  between organizations and
  actors
• One CIM and coordination
• Mapping of the total
  information needs
• Content, Connectivity,
  Access
• ICT Support to victims
• Applications exist but are
  not used
                               4
