What’s the action plan?What to announce?

Previous ExperienceVolunteers arrived and tried to helpNo task was assigned, that means idle

This TimeNGOs on-hold and wait for request

Previous ExperiencePeople thought there will be resource shortage,Donation of supplies (too many)

This TimeCity Mayor used Facebook to deliver the updates

Previous ExperienceInformation from government is slow and scatteredVolunteers with IT background need to do something

This TimeA crowdsourced information platform was built

600,000+ Syrian refugees in Jordan lack

access to information about humanitarian

services available to them. How can we

improve access to information and access

NEXT STEPS

accessibility

Health Care Facilities Activation

PROBLEM

Medical experts and first responders in

ebola-affected areas lack medical

facilities information to make better

informed decisions about where to send

both ebola and non-ebola patients for

treatment.

GOAL

Phase I: List every facility in ebola-

affected countries using Humanitarian

Exchange Language

Phase II: Maintain on-going list of info on

available bed, doctors, supplies, etc.

CHALLENGES

• Lack of reliable maps

• Limited in country mobility due to

ebola

• Lack of reliable internet

• Lack of situational overview

• Lack of communication with

stakeholders

SOLUTION: FACILITIES MAPS

NEXT STEPS

• IMPROVE field access to information through

downloadable, printable maps and

information.

• CATEGORIZE records by geography, sector

to create daily, weekly and monthly report on

current humanitarian needs

KEY QUESTIONS

1. How do we EVALUATE IMPACT on projects with scarce

resources and limited access to end beneficiaries?

2. How can we ensure more EFFECTIVE COLLABORATION and

prevent duplication of efforts/ tools when responding to acute

emergencies?

3. How can we build NOW on new and existing tools to bettter

PREPARE FOR FUTURE ACTIVATIONS?

4. What can we do up front to strengthen prospects for long

term PROJECT SUSTAINABILITY?

The Crisis Map of the Czech Republic

A Nationwide Deployment of an Ushahidi Application for Crisis

Situations

Why do we need Crisis Maps?

• Have you ever experienced crisis situation?

– Floods, earthquake, landslides, hurricane, etc?

• What were you thinking about at the first?

Flood 1997

Flood 1997

Floods in 2010

2012

“Become a crisis reporter, inform

about what is happening around you.”

Ushahidi implementation

• Google Maps API/OpenStreetMap

• WMS and KML plug-ins

• Administrative boundaries

• Flood zones

• Geology maps, etc.

Reporting options

• Twitter #krizovamapa,

• Facebook www.facebook.com/ct24.cz,

• Email reports report@krizovamapa.cz,

• intuitive reporting form on The Crisis Map.

Floods 2013

• 6 countries

• In CZ 15 people died, 26,408 were evacuated

• 28,500 firemen, 21,000 police officers and 9,324 soldiers engaged

• 970 municipalities affected by the floods.

• Damage was in hundreds of millions USD

Reporting

• 2,798 reports via Crisis Map forms

• 4,500 Facebook reports

• More than 9,000 Twitter

• More than 2,000 reports on the map

• 14 volunteers and 5 members from Czech TV

378,000 visitors and 2.5 million pageviews

First wave – June 2

• 40% of all page views,

• 35% of all website visits

• 33% unique visitors

Results?

• MySQL server failure and memCache malfunctions

Evaluation

Evaluation

Evaluation

• Weather/Meteo situation (42%)

• Flooded areas (21%)

• Damaged traffic infrastructure (12%)

• Risk of floods (9%)

Evaluation

• Server drop-outs, in connection with TV broadcast announcements.

• The verification was used mainly for potentially sensitive reports that could have caused serious panic.

Evaluation

• Contrary to our expectations, the quality of the reports provided by citizens was very high, as their reports were factual and supplemented by pictures and videos.

Thank you!

“Thank you so much for the tornado warning. I was able to

get my family to safety with time to spare.”

“Was an awesome warning in plenty of time to protect

“This is so helpful and a piece of mind! Sometimes when

the power is out we can't rely on TV or radio, so having a
