Disaster Relief 2.0

The Harvard Humanitarian Initiative (HHI) and three partners, with the inputs of 41 experts, have issued a report of the lessons learnt from responding to the Haiti Jan 2010 Earthquake: - The Future of Information Sharing in Humanitarian Emergencies. The report looks at how information needs (and the information overload) may be met in future disasters. Thanks Emerson.
