Humanitarian Assistance/Disaster Response Capability Development effort: QuickNets

Abstract

The project sought to answer the fundamental question: In a fast onset disaster, how do we generate unity of effort amongst all actors when unity of command is neither possible nor desirable and what technologies can contribute to this effort? In previous humanitarian responses, ineffective coordination has led to a lack of unity amongst various responders and the host nation government, resulting in a time gap between quickly available financial, human, and relief resources and their application to problems faced on the ground. This project seeks to capitalize on crowd-sourcing to determine how unity of effort can be achieved to help close the gap between identifying resources and their rapid utilization.
