Health Initiatives in Southeast Asia 1
Dhaka, Bangladesh: On any given day 1/3 of the population is sick. Grameen Shakti, 2010 Image: InSTEDD 2
Southeast Asia is a particular haven for zoonotic diseases. 3
In Haiti we re-learned that victims need water, medical care, food and shelter, but that they often need information first. So do the emergency responders. And it has to be collected in advance. 4
The Human Security Taxonomy A local approach to collecting data before an event and transforming it to actionable information. Supercell thunderstorm Glasgow, Montana 28 July 2010 Photo: Sean Heavey
The Human Security Taxonomy Base Map Layers 1. Boundaries 2. Place Names 3. Road Networks 4. Hydrography 5. Elevation data 6. Imagery 7. Climate and Weather 8. Geology 9. Geography (physical) 10. Land Use 11. Oceans and Coastlines 12. Conservation Areas 13. Hazard and Conflict Impact Maps 14 Base Map Layers 28 GIS layers 896 data elements 14. Health Risks 6
The Human Security Taxonomy Foundation Layers (1) 1. Agricultural crops 2. Bridges 3. Communications (mass media) 4. Communications (personal and social) 5. Correctional Facilities and Law Enforcement 6. Crime 7. Dams 8. Economy and Banking 9. Educational facilities 10. Emergency Shelters and Services 11. Energy Production and Distribution (grid) 12. Energy Production and Distribution (local, alternative) 13. Faith-centered facilities 14. Food Sourcing and Distribution 7

Anticipating Complexity Exploring Responses Cultivating Resilience A Demonstration. Not an Exercise.
83 Issues to address Katrina / Banda Aceh So we designed this. As well as a complicated event framework for the week
Laboratory For 3-D Vensim Collaboration diagram of Strong Angel. Boeing Phantom Works mathematicians Strong developed Angel III this Integrated Disaster Response Demonstration San Diego 21-26 August 2006 Anticipating Complexity Exploring Responses Cultivating Resilience media (local, national, international) diplomacy reachout and depth languages micro-financing donors scale number of NGO's phase transitions (start up, solutions to mission, hand over to local authorities, disband) number of observers number of participants expectation of an exercise experience understanding social context developed from previous Strong Angel efforts bringing designed solutions attention of vendors who have their disaster relief technologies and designed solutions Syntheses and Model Building Complex Systems Analysis and Simulations Boeing Phantom Works O expectation of a demonstration of capability experience participation and observation orientation bias toward testing a plan and grading task completion bias toward discovery of capabilities in context proposals to meet those objectives bringing institutional solutions and processes attention of institutions and agencies who have formal disaster relief charters success of previous Strong Angel demonstrations O understand the tasks and objectives necessary for a Strong Angel Demonstration formal charter to operate in this space demonstration of solutions and/or capabilities (first day or two) accepted proposals O strictness of the screening criteria Strong Angel III tasks and objectives problem(s) experienced in real world relief efforts Providing new solutions in international real world environments Anticipating Complexity willingness to be of service excitement of discovery and renewal O new capability: (eg new solution set, existing stuff made more capable and/or linking in simpler ways, or new stuff that works) respect, initiative promotion thanks for coming and playing with enthusiasm validate ideas and concepts <Strong Angel III tasks and objectives> willingness to listen and share Technology Demonstration pressure to conform to existing solutions feasible Exploring Responses looking for ways to test the solution/innovation solutions/innovations that didn't work if you are pushing the envelope you need to expect a lot of this (fast failures) look for other interesting ideas and concepts reliable open to rapid prototyping clarity of how I/we can help existing bias disguised as a clarifying question or a passionate idea explain how others should link to my solution and make it work pressure to use your authority to make my solution king scalable innovation Simple low tech Integrated High Tech/Low Tech Sustainable Solutions defining my solution as the required functionality Cooperative Exploration find out what you have, put it together, quick and dirty solutions entering this realm of possibilities (a laboratory experience removes traditional constraints) exploration the space of possibilities (systematic search to find a solution) find, evaluate, and choose DELAY discovering new ways of doing things gaining experience chancing upon something and you recognize its usefulness defining required functionality expanding the realm of possibilities Collaborative Discovery Quote from Apollo 13, Gene Kranz,... "I don't care about what anything was DESIGNED to do, I care about what it CAN do" serious play (creating possibilities) cognitive workload having an impact on decision making common standards and formats Collaboration Cycles Resurrectiton (comms, lift, power) Sustainment of the Infrastructure Solution for and in the field missions forcing functions (e.g. austere environment, scenario) Cultivating Resilience smash together = building new capability while maintaining unique identity (friendly competition) DELAY trust false starts, dead ends, course corrections and then keep going discovering a sense of the whole system and the more fundamental problem that you are facing emerging leaders stepping up shaping understand for what is needed and possible Learning Feedback refining required functionality
This model might be useful in Myanmar.
