What is an Emergency?
Thursday, 27 August 2009
In the New Zealand context...
emergency means a situation that—
(a) is the result of any happening, whether natural or otherwise, including, without limitation, any explosion, earthquake, eruption, tsunami, land movement, flood, storm, tornado, cyclone, serious fire, leakage or spillage of any dangerous gas or substance, technological failure, infestation, plague, epidemic, failure of or disruption to an emergency service or a lifeline utility, or actual or imminent attack or warlike act; and
(b) causes or may cause loss of life or injury or illness or distress or in any way endangers the safety of the public or property in New Zealand or any part of New Zealand; and
(c) cannot be dealt with by emergency services, or otherwise requires a significant and co-ordinated response under this Act
SAHANADisaster Management System
An appropriate computer-basedinformation system to integratethe information flow betweenlocal, CDEM Group and nationallevels of emergency managementand associated agencies beagreed upon and implemented.
Key Recommendation of the Review of the 2004 FloodEvent, known as the "Reid Report" (Ministry of Civil Defence& Emergency Management, 2004, p 5)
Is there a need?
While SAHANA cannot solve all theproblems in a disaster, it is anexcellent tool ... It is technologythat can help many people in adisaster. In fact, there is nogreater innovation that mattersmore than that which saves lives.

Free and open source software not only lowers barriers and increases participation,
but it fits well with the collaborative ethos of emergency management.

Mature modules have been successfullydeployed overseas to help manage disasters.They are considered stable because they haveproven their worth over successivedeployments.
Up and coming modules are considered to besafe for 'dry runs only'. They probably haven'tbeen used in an actual disaster yet, but areregularly used in exercises and scenarios.
Thees modules are at a formative stage ofdevelopment. They're being aggressivelyworked on, but are currently not yet able tobe utilised because of a lack of stability.

Software is nothing...
The wide range of organisations involved in emergency management requires a collaborative approach to the sharing of information. Information systems to support a collaborative approach to emergency management can add significant value, especially as the scope and scale of an event increases, and with it the volume of information that is required to be managed and shared. It is essential that information is stored and communicated in common formats to ensure that information can be easily exchanged and aggregated to support decision making.

About Sahana
Sahana a web-based collaborationtool. It addresses the commoncoordination problems during adisaster from finding missingpeople, managing aid, managingvolunteers, sharing informationeffectively between Governmentagencies, the NGOs and thecommunity.
Recently, the scope of the Sahanaproject has expanded. It nowcontains modules in alpha stages ofdevelopment in areas such asDisaster Victim Identification(management of the deceased inemergencies), advanced mappingand public altering systems via SMSand other technologies through theCommon Alerting Protocol.
Sahana is a web-based application.This means it can be deployed in thesoftware as a service manner, via anetwork or on a local machine. Thisflexibility allows for Sahana to bedeployed in a wide variety ofhardware and operating systems.
EMIS Developers can’t isolate themselves from the CDEM community – they must form partnerships and openly collaborate with the sector.
Thursday, 27 August 2009
While SAHANA cannot solve all the problems in a disaster, it is an excellent tool... It is technology that can help many people in a disaster. In fact, there is no greater innovation that matters more than that which saves lives.
