Previous Experience
Volunteers arrived and tried to help
No task was assigned, that means idle
This Time
NGOs on-hold and wait for request

Previous Experience
People thought there will be resource shortage,
Donation of supplies (too many)
This Time
City Mayor used Facebook to deliver the updates

Previous Experience
Information from government is slow and scattered
Volunteers with IT background need to do something
This Time
A crowdsourced information platform was built

It doesn’t matter what technology we use
It’s about who we engaged

"Imagine losing 10
members of your family,
and no one giving you a
hug,”
- Michelle Dynes Epidemiologist
Center for Disease Control

Leveraging digital networks in support of
21st century humanitarian response.

RECENT PROJECTS
Services Advisor
Health Care Facilities Activation

PROBLEM
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
to services towards improving quality of
life?

SOLUTION - SERVICES ADVISOR
ACTIVITY INFO database
(data from 60 orgs in 420 locations)
+
AMANI MAPS JavaScript App

ACTIVITY INFO
An online humanitarian project monitoring
tool to helps humanitarian organizations to
collect, manage, map and analyze
indicators, to simplify reporting and to
enable real time monitoring.

NEXT STEPS
• Expanding reach of Service Advisor to
2.9 million Syrian refugees
• Expanding Services Advisor
performance, functionality and
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

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?

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
• 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.”
“I was in the affected area and was able to seek shelter.”
“Was an awesome warning in plenty of time to protect
my family.”
“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
mobile option wherever I go is amazing. Thanks so
much!”
