ICT Assessment Methodology
• Initial Assessment (First days)• Based on secondary data sources• Mobile operator data• Social media reports• Media reports• Response organization information
• Used to determine the initial scope of the ICT infrastructure damage
• Rapid Field Assessments (First 1-2 weeks)• Field trips to affected areas• Visual surveying of affected damage to infrastructure• Interviewing of key stakeholders• Connectivity assessments• Needs of response organizations, affected population captured.

Good – Bad - Ugly• More information being shared amongst organizations• More coordinated use of digital volunteers• More joint assessments within humanitarian community
• Lack of data standards slowing down use of shared data• Extensive data processing needed to use shared data• Lot of duplication of efforts
• Lack of coordination with government response• Lack of involvement with local community• Lack of attention to areas outside of CNN focus area

Way Forward• We need data standards for core emergency response data• We need easy ways of sharing our data in machine readable
format• We need more coordinated information management efforts• We need to work closely with affected governments• We need to build information management capacity in
disaster prone developing countries• We need to focus on entire affected area, not just where
media is• We need to involve the affected community in the
information management effort• We need new ways of funding innovation and research in the
humanitarian space.
