displaced
MIMOSA Deployment: Using the inReachSE by Delorme

Poorly targeted livelihoods and shelter programming
Localizing Data Preparedness and Disaster Response
• Establish networks, data sharing agreements and technical structures prior to emergencies– Civil Society– Government–Military
• Collaborative training exercises• Improve local capacity in hardware, software and network resiliency.
• Move “decision relevance” of information as close to the event response as possible.

COLLABORATION WITH GAWAD KALINGA
• Prepositioning inReach devices in 12 regions • Developing core analytics capacity• Establishing standard disaster relief ontology• ODK integration for baseline data collection

A more resilient solution: strengthen local NGO networks
Typhoon Hagupit- Dec 2014
• Officially 18 dead• Over 1,000,000 displaced• Targeted Eastern Samar• Communications, evacuation and
preparedness planning saved countless lives.
