1 Strengthening Earthquake Resilience in Metro Manila Collective Approaches & Coordinated Strategies Linton Wells II March 25, 2013 These slides reflect the author s personal views, not those of any organization linwells@gmail.com, +! , Skype: linwells 1

2 Outline Multi-Stakeholder Coordination People, Processes, Organizations & Technology Evolution of Approaches Since 2004 Tsunami Information Remote Sensing, Citizen Science, Mapping Coping with New Info Resources, Crowdsourcing, Big Data, Policy Questions Ways to Prepare through Demonstrations, Projects & Exercises TIDES/STAR-TIDES Joint Interagency Field Exploration (JIFX) New Publications Red Cross/Red Crescent Report on Strengthening Urban Resilience with Emerging Technology 2

3 Multi-Stakeholder Coordination People, Processes, Organizations, Technology Players: Host Nation (National-Province- Local), Foreign Governments and Militaries, IOs, NGOs, Businesses, Citizens Public-Private, Whole-of-Government, Trans- National Response: No Unity of Command Engagement Procedures are Critical Communication, Customs, Shared Values Evolution of Approaches Since 2004 Tsunami 3

11 Text from the Rubble Mwen se carline pierre mw poko mori mwen anba dekonb nan universite caraibes ki sitye nan delma 29 la tanpri map tann pou yo vini sove m. USAR , My name is Carline Pierre I m not dead. I am under the rumbles in University Caraibes, which is in Delmas 29. Please come and get me! I m waiting for you. Filters Tufts Fletcher School 11

12 Reports Viewable by those Authorized, often everyone 12 12

13 Coping with New Info Resources, Crowdsourcing, Big Data, Policy Questions 13

14 INTERSECTION OF 3 PROBLEMS Info Overload What is true? What is signal? What is noise? Crowd Aid Mutual aid as Information goods Cybersecurity Risks that cross borders 14

15 COLLECTIVE INTELLIGENCE What is it? How can it help? What are the risks? Why now? 15

16 COMPONENTS OF CI Community Technology Practices Bounding 16

17 CASE STUDY 1: Hurricane Sandy 17

18 Google Integration of MapMill 18 18

19 Rapid analysis: unbounded volunteers 19

20 CASE STUDY 2: CITIZEN SCIENCE 20

21 Citizen Sensors with Geiger Counters 21

22 USGS Did You Feel It? & UC Berkeley ishake 22

23 HOW DO WE USE THESE APPROACHES? How does one turn crowdsourced data into official data? 23

24 RISKS AND SECURITY AUTHORITY Sourcing, veracity, validation SECURITY People, platforms, practices SUSTAINABILITY Volunteers and Leaders 24

25 How to Prepare (1) Demonstrations, Projects and Exercises STRONG ANGEL GOLDEN PHOENIX Exercise 24 ARDENT SENTRY STAR-TIDES Joint Interagency Field Exploration (JIFX) 25

26 Sharing Sustainable Solutions for Populations Under Stress Transformative Innovation for Development and Emergency Support 26

27 Three Parts Leverage Global Talent! Promote Integrated Approaches! Sustain Through Private Sector! 27

28 Why (1) To meet needs of local populations Solutions useful to and sustainable by them In their worlds, not ours 28

29 Promote Unity of Action Why (2) When There s no Unity of Control 29

30 Gather and Share Research and New Ideas 30

31 Promote Integrated Solutions Across Eight Infrastructures Heat from Integrated Solar & Combustion Cooking can Help Pasteurize Water Heat Rocks & Bricks to Reduce Need for Fires in Shelters Renewable Power can enable Good Sanitation can Reduce Water Use & Avoid Contamination Information & Communications Technology (ICT) High Efficiency Lighting Low Power Heating/Cooling 31

32 Technology alone is not enough Also must: star-tides.net 32 32

33 Integrated Research Areas DEVELOP SOCIAL NETWORKS AND BUILD TRUST LINK POLICY AND DOCTRINE TO OPERATING PROCEDURES UNDERSTAND LEGAL AND REGULATORY CONTRAINTS LEVERAGE RESOURCES CHANGE BEHAVIOR: TRAIN, EXERCISE, EDUCATE AND INCENTIVIZE 33

34 Support to Real World Events Supported over a dozen real world events California Wildfires (2007, 2008) Afghan Election Monitoring (2009) Haiti Earthquake (2010) Tohoku Earthquake (2011) Sudan Transition (2011) Philippine Cholera Outbreak (2011) Hurricane Sandy (2012) Afghan counter IEDs (2013) Typhoon Haiyan/Yolanda (2013) Considering STAR-TIDES demos in the Pacific 34

35 Joint Interagency Field Explorations (JIFX) Quarterly field experiments (Aug, Nov, Feb, May) Typically at Camp Roberts in California Help catalyze the development of interoperable, operationally useful tools, some are for disaster management Bring together interagency partners, technologists, requirements setters and operators Mash-ups are a highlight of JIFXs It s OK to fail 35

36 How to Prepare (2) Conferences International Convention of Crisis Mappers (ICCM) Philippine Initiatives Communities of Interest Skype: All Hazards Disaster Experts Group #Tech4Resilience Digital Humanitarians, ICT4Peace Publications International Red Cross/Red Crescent: Strengthening Urban Resilience 36

37 A Vision for the Humanitarian Use of Emerging Technology for Emerging Needs Strengthening Urban Resilience (1) 1. Engage local community members in the design, manufacturing and introduction of new technology solutions. 2. Support consumer access, management and ownership of emerging technologies. 3. Research the impact of technology on community resilience. 4. Establish supportive policies, systems and guidance for the development and use of emerging technologies. 37

38 A Vision for the Humanitarian Use of Emerging Technology for Emerging Needs Strengthening Urban Resilience (2) 5. Invest first in four emerging technology use cases that address actual barriers to resilience: Wearable devices for providing early warning, supporting search and rescue, and reconnecting families Unmanned aerial vehicles for temporarily restoring communications networks and delivering critical relief items, such as medicines, post-disaster Smart home sensor networks for sensing and reporting fires in informal settlements/slums Biometric scanners in ATM-like kiosks for restoring lost documentation to prove identity, access assistance and reconnect families 38
