21. INFORMATIONMANAGEMENT
Good โ Bad - Ugly
โข More information being shared amongst organizations
โข More coordinated use of digital volunteers
โข More joint assessments within humanitarian community
โข Lack of data standards slowing down use of shared data
โข Extensive data processing needed to use shared data
โข Lot of duplication of efforts
โข Lack of coordination with government response
โข Lack of involvement with local community
โข Lack of attention to areas outside of CNN focus area
22. INFORMATIONMANAGEMENT
Way Forward
โข We need data standards for core emergency response data
โข We need easy ways of sharing our data in machine readable
format
โข We need more coordinated information management
efforts
โข We need to work closely with affected governments
โข We need to build information management capacity in
disaster prone developing countries
โข We need to focus on entire affected area, not just where
media is
โข We need to involve the affected community in the
information management effort
โข We need new ways of funding innovation and research in
the humanitarian space.
