How does a charity interested in disaster management define its operational space, whether helping people, livestock, trying to protect cultural icon, etc.
The document discusses using a data fusion tool to help NGOs define their operational space and make decisions around resource deployment. It presents a matrix approach where different classes of questions are asked in ovals to filter the operational space. Sample questions are provided around countries, types of disasters/crises, diseases/injuries, conflict levels, and security risks to iteratively define the areas an NGO could potentially operate in. Defining this operational space through situational awareness helps NGOs determine where and when to deploy resources as well as who to send.

The article argues that the US has failed to uphold civil rights for all prisoners, which undermines national security goals and global alliances.

The document summarizes findings from the 2012 Country RepTrak study, which measured the reputations of 50 countries according to surveys of over 36,000 people in the G8 countries. Some key findings included that country reputation has a very strong correlation with people's willingness to visit, live, invest, buy from, study, and work in that country. The study also found a direct link between reputation and increased tourism receipts and foreign direct investment. Countries can work to systematically improve their reputation and differentiation in the market by developing brand and reputation management strategies.

Policy Document outlining the rationale for protecting Animals from Disasters. Audience, UN Agencies, the IFRC and diplomatic missions. Focus is livestock and working animals. Editor in Chief: Larry W. Roeder, Jr., UN Affairs Director, WSPA
1. A Short Brief By Larry Winter Roeder, Jr. Former Policy Adviser On Disaster Management IO/SHA US Department of State Defining An Operational Space for NGOs May 15, 2006
2.
3. YES Operating Area Land Disease Animals Disasters Security Conflict One NGO Can’t Help Everyone How does the NGO Decide Who to Help, Who is Most at Risk NO Maybe
4. Operating Area Choosing Nations -- First Filter First choose the nations the NGO will not work inside without significant changes, e.g. North Korea. Next choose countries which under special circumstances, the NGO might operate, like Sudan. This leaves the rest of the world. (Operating Area,). The NGO is willing to operate in any of these nations, except as further filtered by the rest of the questions. Never, e.g. North Korea, or perhaps a particular province or region. (without significant change. Possible, e,g, Sudan
5. This leaves the rest of the animals. (Operating Area). The NGO will protect all of these, except as filtered out by other questions. For example, even if an animal would other wise be helped, the NGO will not if the animal is in a country the NGO can’t otherwise operate inside of. Second Filter – Which Animals Does the NGO Care For? Animals Not Protected Animals Might Be Protected First choose the animals the NGO does not protect, e.g. insects or fish (even in countries the NGO operates in. Next choose animals which under special circumstances, the NGO might protect. Operating Area: Primary Animals This slide is orientated towards an animal welfare NGO; but the topic might be people, or in the case of an NGO that protects cultural items, perhaps Museums, works of art, etc. The logic is the same
6. Operating Area Disasters WSPA works in This leaves the rest of the disasters. (Operating Area). WSPA will protect any animal in these disasters, except as filtered out by other questions. For example, even if a type of animal would other wise be helped in a specific country, WSPA will not intervene if the animal is harmed by an oil spill. Third Filter – Which Disasters Does WSPA Deal With? Prohibited Disasters Possible Disasters First choose types of disasters WSPA does not operate in e.g. oil spills, nuclear or kinds of disease like hemorrhagic fever (even in countries WSPA operates in. Next choose disasters which under special circumstances, WSPA might handle, e.g. drought.
7. Operating Area This leaves the rest of the diseases or injuries. (Operating Area). WSPA will handle any of these, except as filtered out by other questions. For example, even if rabies or broken bones might be handled ordinarily, they won’t be in a prohibited country or circumstance. Fourth Filter – What Diseases or Injuries Will WSPA Treat? Animals Not Protected Animals Might Protect First choose types of diseases or injuries WSPA will not deal with, (even in countries WSPA operates in. Next choose diseases or injuries which under special circumstances, WSPA might handle.
8. Operating Area This leaves the rest of the types of conflicts. (Operating Area), political demonstrations, mild civil unrest. Fifth Filter – Levels of Acceptable Conflict Prohibited Conflict Status Problematic Conflict First choose types of conflict that are not acceptable for WSPA operations, e.g. open warfare. Next choose types of conflict where WSPA might operate, e.g. peacekeeping like Afghanistan.
9. Operating Area This leaves normal security – low crime, low risks of targeting of NGO’s. (Operating Area), Sixth Filter – Levels of Acceptable Security Risk Prohibited Security Status Problematic Security First choose types of security risks that are not acceptable for the NGO’s operations, e.g. targeting of NGO’s by insurgents. Next choose types of security risks where the NGO might operate, e.g. high crime.
10. Situation Awareness: A Continual Iterative Process Once the basic operating space is defined, it needs to be set against a backdrop of other filtering questions, e.g. existence of animal cruelty, national laws, international standards, etc., as the emerging situation in any crisis, availability of funds and talents in member societies. All of these things can be graphed. Using interlocking graphs, the answers to these questions can be “fused” using GIS software to present a true situational awareness. Situational awareness provides the basis for providing professional advice on which NGO resources should be deployed before and after a disaster, or in risk reduction.
