Universe of Topics
Data Collection
- What's the good, bad, and ugly of data collection
- how do we handle privacy/security in high-vulnerability times?
- Data from community should be usable by the community
- How to make it easier for different tech to work together
Adoption
- How technology can improve coordination after a disaster
- how to get people excited about tech for manageing data
- how do we share canvasing data and keep it secure?
- how do we bake consent culture into disaster and humanitarian efforts?
Local/External
- How can communities hold responders/NGOs/etc accountable?
- When is a good time to leave the disaster area as a humanitarian?
- How to better support local info responders? (eg Kathmandu Living Lab)?
- scale systems while keeping them personal
- How might we learn from local populations in a state of emergency
Resilience
- How to make info resilience (lists of NGOs, shelters, existing communities) normal everywhere?
- How can we be proactive about disasters rather than reactive
- Lessons learned from response to Ebola Crisis in West Africa
- Best methods to teach people
- how to encourage people to get training before a disaster instead of volunteering after a disaster
- Breaking down resilience and how that term is carried out
- How to keep attention for long-term needs
- Looking at topics through the lends of urban planning and city infrastructure
Local capacity and volunteers
- For-profit social good vs nonprofit/humanitarian
- how formal and informal groups can work together
- Is it possible to support frontline communities without being disruptive?
- ways to teach/trigger curiosity
- Better/more efficient tech for first responders (EMT/Police/Fire)
Bandwidth
- How to improve connecti ity after a disaster
- How do we get info to affected people in low bandwidth environments (eg SMS)?
Security
- How to hack-proof wireless tech
- Systematic support for targets of cyberstalking?
- how to reduce cost of forensic analysis of hacked IT equipment
Visualization
- Best way to display information and data
- What is the role of simulation and tech like Oculus Rift?
- What is the user journey of an emergency (1 day, 1 week, 1 month in)
Spectrogram
- Philanthropy isn't sustainable.
- Capitalism is a self-fueling machine
- Libraries
- We have all the tech we need -- we need to solve the problems at hand.
- Private companies should be responsible for assisting in emergencies.
- We already have enough tech solutions.
- People are not comfortable enough with technology to use it in stressful/emergency situations.
Discussion Topics/Breakouts
- Data and Ethics: overview of what response is like, 3W (who, what, where) for situational awareness, and bottlenecks. How data is generated, parsed, and made use of (or not).
- Occupy Sandy: some components of how OS worked, including social media, coordination channels, tech used, and bridging the formal and informal.
- Data Standards:
- Template for HotWash:
- Public Labs and Consent: background on Public Lab, focus on upcoming formaldehyde levels project, how to break down the gap between scientists and other humans.
- Online Safety: discussion of how people can be safer, online and off, as well as accountability for those who endanger safety.
- Consent: is anything different about consent in a disaster situation than in less dire circumstances?
Projects
Things to Peruse Further
- Games to prepare for disaster:
- Guide for interacting with frontline communities: (find or create)
- Local organization list and reviews:
- Local organization identification at the global level methodology:
- Template/questionaire for After Action report to be made during deployment:
- Who What Where for virtual and coordinating responders:
- Resilience with respect to fragile infrastructure
- Application / promotion of consent frameworks
Accountability mechanisms between frontline communities and responders -- do they exist? Should we make them?
- External NGOs 'helping' and then leaving without leaving ongoing support is disruptive
- Citizen-centric data model
