Technology Planning for Civil Emergencies: Jan 16, 11:54am 1 review humanitarianism, technology, disaster
http://www.techsoup.org/learningcenter/techplan/page4889.cfm; From the page: "Acts of terrorism, hurricanes, cyclones, wildfires, drought, famine, major power outages -- natural or man-made disasters will impact us all at one time or another. Aid organizations and other nonprofits are frequently called to assist with disaster recovery efforts, even though this may not be a core function of their work. Still, they're often recognized as organizations that are out in the community, willing to help, and able to mobilize teams of people. Depending on the type of disaster and availability of other resources, your organization may even find itself acting as a de facto emergency service assisting victims with first aid, transport, or counseling."
