Present

During disasters, we hear

• “Not enough information”

• “Too much information”

• “I don’t know what to do”

The real problem is

• Scattered, fragmented, unorganized information

• Difficult to find and view

• Lack of coordination between organizations

Future

• Simple way to find information to make informed decisions

• Easy for community to provide info and relief

• Creates emotional bonds for community recovery

• Community empowerment reduces the burden on government, NGOs, and insurance companies
