This document summarizes an organization's experience generating evidence through media monitoring during the 2015 Nepal earthquake. Key points: - The organization (HERD) developed a framework to collect, understand, and synthesize evidence from media reports on a daily basis to inform government officials and stakeholders' emergency response. - Daily monitoring reports summarized issues like public health, rescue efforts, aid management, government actions, and public reactions. - Producing quick, comprehensive, and accessible data through open synthesis of evidence allowed for a more informed and effective emergency response and learning for future disasters.
