The document discusses disaster response and proposes an alternative approach called Relief 2.0. Relief 2.0 focuses on empowering local stakeholders and utilizing social networks and mobile technologies to directly address needs in affected areas. It aims to fill gaps left by traditional top-down relief efforts and prevent turning disaster survivors into refugees. The approach would match affected local businesses with similar businesses elsewhere to help them reopen quickly in a dignified and collaborative way.

2. WHAT HAPPENS WHEN DISASTER STRIKES IS AN UNFORTUNATE TWIST OF FATE.

3. WHAT HAPPENS AFTERWARDS IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY…

4. When disaster strikes… Some people are given a burden: The burden of enduring the disaster and the conditions that follow

5. When disaster strikes… Some people are given a gift: The gift of being spared from disaster.

6. How can we not use our gift to lift the burden of others?

15. BEYOND DISASTER RESPONSE

16. We know that people respond to calls for help So why are we failing so badly?

17. Is helping any help? Not really… At least not in the way we are doing it…

22. Often when we help… we displace local capacity.

23. Often when we help… we measure our success by the delivery of help or completion of actions not actual impact.

24. SO THEN WHAT CAN WE DO?

26. When disaster strikes… the physical infrastructure is destroyed.

27. When disaster strikes… The social infrastructure remains, people’s capacity is untouched…

28. What appears to be random or chaos is neither…

29. There is order, social structure…

30. There is people, like you and me, willing and able.

31. Who are the people who survive disaster?

34. Disaster recovery with dignity, inclusion, generation and distribution of wealth Businesses working with businesses to get back on track and jumpstarting the economy to serve people

35. What happens to your donations?

36. Disaster Relief with dignity, inclusion, generation and distribution of wealth…

37. Relief 2.0 Enterprise Now We need to start working with disaster survivors and enable them as entrepreneurs before they are turned into refugees by conventional relief.

38. Matching shops and businesses affected by disaster with same-trade businesses in non-affected areas and enable collaboration to get businesses to re-open as soon as possible. Relief 2.0 B2B

39. It’s not charity, it’s not donation. Both businesses reach a collaborative business agreement: 36 months low interest loan, restore inventory, line of credit, etc. It’s a business deal that preserves their dignity. Relief 2.0 B2B
