This presentation was given at International Training Course for Disaster Data Sharing and Service Platforms, October 26-30, in Xi'an in China, organized by International Civil Defence Organisation.
This document discusses how various Indian agencies leverage technology to support disaster management. It outlines platforms and services provided by the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), National Institute of Disaster Management (NIDM), Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO), National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC), Indian National Centre for Ocean Information Services (INCOIS), and other organizations for preparedness, response, and recovery efforts. Technologies like satellite imagery, geospatial databases, early warning systems, and communication networks help provide situational awareness and decision support across disaster phases. However, overdependence on technology could be problematic if outages last for prolonged periods.
The document discusses various technologies that can be used for disaster management, organized into the following categories: dashboards and workflows, crowdsourcing/microtasking, SMS, networks, open data, and security. Several specific tools are described for each category, including their purpose and website. The tools aim to provide situational awareness, coordinate response efforts, and analyze data through visualization, crowdsourcing, and communication technologies.
The Relationship between Human Rights and Disaster Risk Reduction Revisited: ...Paulina Pospieszna
This paper explores the link between human rights and disaster risk reduction. We
revisit the notion of a human rights-based approach in the context of natural disasters,
analyzing how this concept may contribute to greater accountability and empowerment
of those involved in disaster risk reduction. To better understand the processes of
empowering rights holders and holding duty bearers into account we adopt legal analytical
lenses. By doing so we review four country case studies and their main regulations
on disaster risk reduction, taking into account the extent to which they adopt a
human rights-based approach. We argue that countries whose legal frameworks allow
for community engagement point towards greater community empowerment.
Similarly, countries whose legal provisions make possible for holding States accountable
for their underperformance in disaster situations suggest greater levels of accountability.
We also consider key international human rights instruments binding the four case studies in order to analyze whether and to what extent international human
rights obligations may support advocacy and accountability in disaster risk reduction.
Based on the analysis of these case studies we consider that empowerment and
accountability processes in drr can reinforce each other, and that human rights may
contribute to progress in these areas.

Interviews and focus groups identified timely and location-based information as the most important need not well covered.
2. The study recommends identifying information requirements and available data sources during preparedness to help address gaps in initial response. Future research aims to close gaps by linking disparate data sets and collecting community-level data with mobile apps.
3. The study was conducted in partnership with organizations implementing early warning systems on riverine islands in Bangladesh, to better support communities before, during and after floods.
The document discusses India's efforts to create knowledge bases and information systems to facilitate disaster risk reduction and management. It outlines the components of knowledge portals being developed, including databases on past disasters, resources, and expertise. It describes the India National Disaster Database project which aims to create an inventory of past disasters to understand risks and vulnerabilities and support preparedness and mitigation planning. An initial pilot in Orissa collected data on over 30 years of disasters across districts.
From drones to old-fashioned phone calls, data come from many unlikely sources. In a disaster, such as a flood or earthquake, responders will take whatever information they can get to visualise the crisis and best direct their resources. Increasingly, cities prone to natural disasters are learning to better aid their citizens by empowering their local agencies and responders with sophisticated tools to cut through the large volume and velocity of disaster-related data and synthesise actionable information.

Twitris in Action - a review of its many applications Amit Sheth
Twitris is a technology developed at Kno.e.sis that provides real-time, actionable insights from social media data. It analyzes data through approaches like Sentiment-Emotion-Intent, Spatio-Temporal-Thematic, and People-Content-Network. Twitris has been applied in domains like disaster response, elections, public health, and social movements. It has been used to help coordinate responses during crises like hurricanes, floods, and tornadoes.
1) The document discusses the challenges of integrating spatial and statistical information from multiple sources to support disaster management and social protection programs.
2) It proposes a Spatial Identifier Reference Framework (SIRF) to assign unique identifiers to locations that can be used to link related data across different databases and formats.
3) SIRF aims to improve information delivery for humanitarian efforts by providing a consistent way to reference locations and connect disparate yet related datasets.
Transforming Social Big Data into Timely Decisions and Actions for Crisis Mi...Amit Sheth
Keynote @ Exploitation of Social Media for Emergency Relief and Preparedness (SMERP)
Co-located with: The Web Conference 2018 (formerly WWW)
Lyon, France. 23 April 2018
Abstract:
Crises are imposing massive costs to economies worldwide. Natural disasters caused record $306 billion in damage to the U.S. in 2017! Real-time gathering of relevant data through ubiquitous presence of mobile technologies and the ability to disseminate them through social media has forever changed how disaster and health crisis monitoring and response are now carried out. Both tradition crisis response organization as well as temporary, informal, self-organized and community-based organizations have come to increasingly rely on social media. Furthermore, ability to collect, repurpose and reuse data from past events is helping with preparedness and planning for future events.
In this talk, I will review our extensive experience on (a) interactions with variety of stakeholders involved in emergency response at city, county, country and international levels, (b) research on real-time social media analysis spanning spatio-temporal-thematic; people-content-network; linguistic-sentiment-emotion-intent analysis dimensions, (c) development and use of crisis response specific tools (location identification, demand-supply match) and the comprehensive Twitris semantic social intelligence system (which is also commercialized as Cognovi Labs), and (d) a variety of real-world evaluations and real-time uses (e.g., supplying data for Google Crisis map during Uttarakhand Floods, rescue during Kashmir Floods, neighborhood image map during Chennai Floods, providing information to FEMA during Oklahoma tornados), spread of disease and epidemiology (e.g., Zika spread), metro-level multi-agency disaster preparedness exercise, etc.

Current Status and Issues of Information Sharing in Disaster Response in Japa...Tadashi Ise
NIED provides three systems to help improve information sharing during disaster response in Japan:
1) ISUT shares information on its website to support responses.
2) SIP4D is a platform that connects different agencies' systems to quickly share information.
3) NIED-DISS is a sample system for local governments and organizations to connect to SIP4D and each other.
While many prefectures now connect to SIP4D, activity agencies like fire departments and SDF still mainly share paper documents. NIED aims to provide them systems to directly input and access shared information digitally. This could help speed and improve coordination across different response organizations.
This document provides an overview of a workshop on using data for science journalism. It discusses several approaches for incorporating data into stories, including: mapping controversies on issues like climate change; using data to tell stories in science and technology; and analyzing networks to reveal connections. Specific techniques are illustrated, such as mapping the influence of climate change skeptics online and connections between counter-jihadist groups on Facebook. The document also reviews several tools and resources for data journalism.
The document discusses the history and current state of crisis crowdsourcing in the UK and globally. It outlines how groups like CrisisCamp, Ushahidi, Sahana and CrisisCommons have used tools like SMS, mapping and crowdsourcing to help respond to crises from earthquakes to floods. It argues the UK should strengthen its crisis information systems and connections to be better prepared and able to assist both domestically and internationally through maintaining expertise pools, tools and an organized "crowd" able to rapidly respond to emergencies.
Social Media and Forced Displacement: Big Data Analytics and Machine Learning...UN Global Pulse
This white paper summarizes a project using social media data and machine learning to understand perspectives related to the Europe refugee emergency. The project conducted ten mini-studies analyzing Twitter data to monitor interactions between refugees and service providers, and understand host community sentiment toward refugees. Initial results were inconclusive for monitoring refugee interactions but revealed that a small number of tweets connected refugees to terrorist attacks in local Twitter communities. The paper outlines the methodology used and lessons learned to inform humanitarian decision-making and response through social media analysis.
Environmental Information: The Roles of Experts and the PublicMuki Haklay
Slides from a talk at Wilson Center, Washington DC, April 2014
Access to environmental information and use of it for environmental decision making are central pillars of environmental democracy. Yet, not much attention is paid to the question of who is producing it, and for whom? By examining the history of environmental information, since NEPA in 1969, three eras can be identified: information produced by experts, for experts (1969-1992); information produced by experts, to be shared by experts and the public (1992-2011); and finally, information produced by experts and the public to be shared by experts and the public.
Underlying these are changes in access to information, rise in levels of education and rapid change due to digital technologies. The three eras and their implication to environmental decision making will be explored, with special attention to the role of geographical information and geographical information systems and to citizen science.
This is an invited talk I presented at the University of Zurich, speakers' series 2.10.2017. The presentation is based on the following paper: Brandtzaeg, P. B., & Følstad, A. (2017). Trust and distrust in online fact-checking services. Communications of the ACM. 60(9): 65-71
This interview summarizes the work of UN Global Pulse, an initiative that explores how big data and real-time analytics can help with sustainable development efforts. The director, Robert Kirkpatrick, discusses Global Pulse's mission to accelerate the use of data science to protect populations from shocks. They derive data from sources like social media, mobile phone metadata, and other digital traces to gain insights into issues like food security, public health, and economic trends. Kirkpatrick highlights challenges like building analytical capacity, maintaining responsible data partnerships, and addressing issues of data access and privacy at scale. He provides examples of projects in Indonesia that use social media to study food prices and vulnerabilities.
CrisisCampUk: Where next for UK crisis crowdsourcingSara-Jayne Terp
The document discusses the history and current state of crisis crowdsourcing in the UK. It outlines organizations like CrisisCamps and CrisisCommons that have used crowdsourcing tools to help with crises around the world. It argues that the UK is well-positioned to strengthen its crisis information systems and prepare its "crowd" to assist with future crises through these crowdsourcing methods. Specific next steps proposed include connecting UK crisis organizations, maintaining expertise pools, and improving mapping and information tools.

Open data in disaster management
The UN General Assembly defined in February 2017 a disaster as “A serious disruption of the functioning of a community or a society at any scale due to hazardous events interacting with conditions of exposure, vulnerability and capacity, leading to one or more of the following human, material, economic and environmental losses and impacts. It is deeply intertwined with the broader concept of risks, defined by the European commission as a “combination of the probability of occurrence of a hazard generating harm in a given scenario and the severity of that harm.”
Managing these uncertainties requires a large spectrum of data coming from different sources, government being one of the most important. Open Government Data (OGD) is a philosophy and a set of policies that promotes transparency, accountability and value creation by making government data available to all. According to the OGD 8 principles, defined in 2007, Sebastopol, California, these data should be: complete, primary, timely, accessible, machine processable, non-discriminatory, non-proprietary, license-free.
One goal of Open Government Data is to rise the interest of third-parties stakeholders and their (open) innovation capabilities, Open Data is providing trusted information which is important in a troubled context, with a lot of rumors (see also the emergence of fake news). As governments are among the largest data creators and providers, OGD is a central issue for disaster management or risk mitigation, for example through the provision of costly and/or rare data, like data related to infrastructures, weather data or satellite imagery. By definition, OGD is contributing to remove the data silos created by the different information systems of different bodies of government, administration or external stakeholders, allowing a cross-boundary information sharing. It is also a tool to improve cooperation among stakeholders in case of emergency. All of this is of paramount importance regarding disaster management.
Through a set of use cases, this talk will highlight (1) how OGD has been or could be used during the whole of the disaster management cycle, from prevention and preparedness, emergency management, response, and recovery; (2) its current or potential benefits and possible improvements through its linkage with other sources of information, structured and unstructured, such social media and crowdsourcing ; and (3) its identified barriers regarding data availability and quality, organizational readiness, multi-stakeholders involvement, and cooperation.
Social media plays an important role in promoting community participation in disaster management. It allows for quick information dissemination during emergencies, helps with disaster planning and training through gamification, and enables collaborative problem solving. Social media facilitates on-the-scene reporting and disaster assessments to help coordinate emergency responses. While traditional media use is declining, social media usage is rising worldwide and can be incorporated into integrated disaster management platforms to give citizens a greater role in preparing for and managing crises.
New media and democratic society 1117 presentationTina Moore
New technologies like crowdsourcing, mashups, and citizen journalism are changing how democratic societies function. Crowdsourcing harnesses the collective intelligence of online communities to gather and share information, as seen with crisis mapping sites like Ushahidi that tracked violence in Kenya. Mashups combine content from different sources, like integrating housing listings and maps. Citizen journalism allows non-professionals to contribute news reports, as seen with CNN iReport. These new media tools are empowering public participation and making information more open and accessible.
Day 2: Openness: making use of open data, Mr. Peter Reichstädter, CIO, Parlia...wepc2016
The document discusses a world e-parliament conference held in 2016 in Valparaiso, Chile focused on challenges of innovation and business models between parliament administrations. It covers topics around open data, interoperability, open government data principles and challenges, and visions for the future of parliaments including areas like security, big data, and citizen-centric services. Standardization efforts are discussed at different phases of open data processes to promote sharing of information and resources between organizations. Lessons learned include taking a holistic approach and reducing complexity while avoiding siloed thinking.
Data Activism: data as rhetoric, data as powerSpeck&Tech
ABSTRACT: Contrary to popular beliefs that depict data as truthful or objective, a data activist navigates the data-sphere from an opposite worldview: data is never neutral, and data visualization is inevitably rhetorical. But don’t worry: this is a feature, not a bug. This talk will focus on the many ways in which data can be used for activism, with a particular focus on data-inspired housing rights initiatives like Inside Airbnb and OCIO Venezia, and the works by the information design studio Sheldon.studio.

This document discusses using digital traces and social science methods to study complex issues. It provides three examples: 1) Mapping climate change negotiations to analyze topics, countries and the shift to adaptation; 2) Analyzing connections between far-right groups in Europe using their online networks; 3) Studying discussion of health worker migration by mapping actors in different sectors. The document also outlines digital tools for data collection and network analysis that could benefit journalism through techniques like identifying themes, actors, partisan sources and hyperlink associations.

ViewShift: Hassle-free Dynamic Policy Enforcement for Every Data LakeWalaa Eldin Moustafa
Dynamic policy enforcement is becoming an increasingly important topic in today’s world where data privacy and compliance is a top priority for companies, individuals, and regulators alike. In these slides, we discuss how LinkedIn implements a powerful dynamic policy enforcement engine, called ViewShift, and integrates it within its data lake. We show the query engine architecture and how catalog implementations can automatically route table resolutions to compliance-enforcing SQL views. Such views have a set of very interesting properties: (1) They are auto-generated from declarative data annotations. (2) They respect user-level consent and preferences (3) They are context-aware, encoding a different set of transformations for different use cases (4) They are portable; while the SQL logic is only implemented in one SQL dialect, it is accessible in all engines.

The Building Blocks of QuestDB, a Time Series Databasejavier ramirez
Talk Delivered at Valencia Codes Meetup 2024-06.
Traditionally, databases have treated timestamps just as another data type. However, when performing real-time analytics, timestamps should be first class citizens and we need rich time semantics to get the most out of our data. We also need to deal with ever growing datasets while keeping performant, which is as fun as it sounds.
It is no wonder time-series databases are now more popular than ever before. Join me in this session to learn about the internal architecture and building blocks of QuestDB, an open source time-series database designed for speed. We will also review a history of some of the changes we have gone over the past two years to deal with late and unordered data, non-blocking writes, read-replicas, or faster batch ingestion.

Motivation
”To take advantage of the new information environment, aid
agencies need to adapt in three ways. They need to find ways
to work with new data sources, to collaborate with a wider
range of partners, and to understand that information in
itself is a life-saving need for people in crisis. It is as
important as water, food and shelter.”
