haiti: sudden onset emergency
![Page 5: Crisis Information Management: A Primer](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081400/554aceb9b4c90580698b54c0/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
points to ponder
• Are new technologies and ICTs more helpful in dealing with sudden-onset natural disasters / acts of God as opposed to acts of men & women?
• Why are you here? Is technology a standalone panacea or an enabler to thought-leaders?
• In 1981, John Postel he formulated what’s known as Postel’s Law: “Be conservative in what you do; be liberal in what you accept from others.”
• Is this a mantra for organisational change? Technology design? Technical architecture? Process?

social media
![Page 7: Crisis Information Management: A Primer](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081400/554aceb9b4c90580698b54c0/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
what is social media?
• Social media uses Internet and web-based technologies to transform broadcast media monologues (one to many) into social media dialogues (many to many).
• It supports the democratization of knowledge and information, transforming people from content consumers into content producers. (Wikipedia)
![Page 8: Crisis Information Management: A Primer](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081400/554aceb9b4c90580698b54c0/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
what is new media?
• New media is a term meant to encompass the emergence of digital, computerized, or networked information and communication technologies.
• New media is not television programs, feature films, magazines, books, or paper-based publications. (Wikipedia)
• But increasingly, old media is leveraging the web, Internet and mobiles in generating and disseminating news and information.

Social Media IM foundations
• Blogs
• Social networks (Twitter, Facebook)
• Mobiles: SMS to social networking sites, mobile photography and video
• Wired (ADSL) and wireless broadband (3G etc)
• Greater access, also in vernacular
• Lower transactional cost (cost per SMS, subscription for ADSL, cost per dongle, data subscriptions)
![Page 13: Crisis Information Management: A Primer](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081400/554aceb9b4c90580698b54c0/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
what’s new
• Ubiquity of two way communications
• Addressable peoples, even those who IDPs or refugees
• Both news generation and dissemination leverages new media
• Disintermediated models vs. traditional media model
• Citizens as producers
• Low resolution content broadcast on high definition media
![Page 14: Crisis Information Management: A Primer](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081400/554aceb9b4c90580698b54c0/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
what’s new
• Sous-veillance (observing from underneath, anchored to human security) in place of, or in addition to, surveillance (often from centralised loci, anchored to national security)
• Sous-veillance is crowd based intelligence, generally open data (though analysis can be bounded). Surveillance ranges from sig int and psy ops to information espionage, almost always bounded.
• Important to understand Arab Spring, and situational awareness in sudden onset disasters
![Page 15: Crisis Information Management: A Primer](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081400/554aceb9b4c90580698b54c0/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

new media based content generation
• Glocal information – what is local anymore?
• Information agents are rapid moving, transnational
• A person in Boston can report on activities in Port au Prince who sources his information from someone in Les Cayes via SMS, who goes on to plot it on a map that helps someone from New York to deploy aid via a request made over the web to someone in Rome
• Models of news gathering and trust are changing

power of sms
• “My name is Mohammed Sokor, writing to you from Dagahaley refugee camp in Dadaab. Dear Sir, there is an alarming issue here. People are given too few kilogrammes of food. You must help.”
• Humble SMS text messages from refugees could become an effective SOS for millions whose voices are so rarely heard.
![Page 22: Crisis Information Management: A Primer](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081400/554aceb9b4c90580698b54c0/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
power of sms: post tsunami
• The web is littered with examples on how SMS helped in the immediate aftermath of the tsunami in Indonesia and Sri Lanka.
• “I'm standing on the Galle road in Aluthgama and looking at 5 ton trawlers tossed onto the road. Scary shit.”
• “Found 5 of my friends, 2 dead. Of the 5, 4 are back in Colombo. The last one is stranded because of a broken bridge. Broken his leg. But he's alive.”
• “Made contact. He got swept away but swam ashore. Said he's been burying people all day.”
• “Just dragging them off the beach and digging holes with his hands.”

bombings in london
• 7 July 2005
• Within 24 hours, the BBC had received 1,000 stills and videos, 3,000 texts and 20,000 e-mails.
![Page 28: Crisis Information Management: A Primer](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081400/554aceb9b4c90580698b54c0/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
“saffron revolution” in myanmar, 2007
• 100,000 people joined a Facebook group supporting the monks
• No international TV crews allowed in the country
• Mobile phone cameras were the first footage of the monks protest
• Blogs from Rangoon were the only sources of information
• The junta shut down all Internet and mobile communications

![Page 31: Crisis Information Management: A Primer](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081400/554aceb9b4c90580698b54c0/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
the ‘green revolution’: post-election Iran, 2009
• Social media played three very important roles in the Iran situation:
1.It helped Iranians communicate with each other.
2.It helped Iranians communicate with the outside world.
3.It helped the rest of the world communicate with both Iranians and others who sympathize with the protesters.
• YouTube and Flickr brought multimedia out of the distressed country. Twitter and Facebook updates have spread videos virally. Blogs, Wikipedia, and citizen journalism have helped disseminate and filter this information. Most of all though, these tools have helped people take action.

curating crowdsourced information
• Buying fruits of vegetables
• Check price
• Weigh it in one’s hands
• Look at it from all angles
• Look at it in context
• Look at a few, not just one
• Discard if old
• Be suspicious if it looks too good
• Ascertain location where it was produced
• Curating crowdsourced information
• Check authorship
• Check for veracity, quality
• Is it accurate, fair, topical?
• What is the bias? Is it progressive?
• Select a few from many sources
• Discard if out-dated information is presented
• Be cautious of unverified information and breaking news
• Is the producer local or foreign?

what’s satisficing?
• Satisficing, (satisfy with suffice), is a decision-making strategy that attempts to meet criteria for adequacy, rather than to identify an optimal solution.
• A satisficing strategy may often be (near) optimal if the costs of the decision-making process itself, such as the cost of obtaining complete information, are considered in the outcome calculus.
• The word satisfice was coined by American political scientist Herbert Simon in 1956.

Some enduring challengesTweets from ICCM 2010
![Page 66: Crisis Information Management: A Primer](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081400/554aceb9b4c90580698b54c0/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
challenges
• Concept of failing forward missing. Everyone parading what worked, but more imp to know - what failed, why?
• Heard first cursory mention of ethics amidst overwhelmingly technocratic perspectives. Good. Need to flesh out.
• No recognition of (geo) politics and US strategic interests in use & availability of tech. Compare Haiti, Pakistan & Myanmar in '08
• A bigger disaster than Haiti, Pakistan had comparably little of this tech, volunteerism and focus. Why?
![Page 67: Crisis Information Management: A Primer](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081400/554aceb9b4c90580698b54c0/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
challenges
• Surprisingly everyone seems to believe crowdsourcing is good, and is only used for good. Context, content, creator, consumer absent
• At risk of sounding Rumsfeldian, why don't we know what we should know? Core datasets vital for community resilience and response
• Trust is mutable, relative, contextual, locally defined, gendered, framed by identity, inter alia.
• Violence as a result of knowledge creation.

challenges
• Impartial, accurate coverage still vital, increasingly hard to ascertain
• Torrent of information. Trickle of knowledge.
• Veracity hard to determine
• Pace of technology development hard to keep pace with

• Nature of violence, partisan bias, citizenship, governance structures, public institutions heavily influence crowdsourcing.
• Crowdsourced HR or election violations mapping with volunteers from perpetrator party/tribe/ethnicity? Proceed with caution
• Volunteerism undergirding stand-by crowdsourcing good, but what about CPE's, where personal bias can deeply influence curation?
• Related to last tweet, volunteerism works better for sudden onset natural disasters, which are also mediagenic

two key effects of information overload
• Continuous partial attention, Linda Stone, Microsoft, 1997. With continuous partial attention we keep the top level item in focus and scan the periphery in case something more important emerges.
• The immediate altruistic response rapidly diminishes over time (Melissa Brown, associate director of research at the Center on Philanthropy at Indiana University, 2010) Our brains release congratulatory hits of dopamine when we engage in selfless behaviour — which we’re moved to do the instant we witness something awful.
