Technology, tools and initiatives Sample Clauses

Technology, tools and initiatives. Based on the authors own experience, interviews and literature review, our impression is that volunteer organizations in disaster response make very limited use of ICTs and specific information systems in their internal organization and communications, and in their interaction to other organizations and citizens. This is probably related to the communication preferences of the volunteers themselves and the ICT skills of those running the organizations. Many volunteer organizations in relying on “traditional volunteers” see their volunteers aging. With a traditional volunteer we mean a volunteer who is formally registered and often a committed and long-time member, faithful in joining regular training and face to face meetings.

Technology, tools and initiatives. For professionals, a wide variety of toolsets for coordination exists. Maybe even too many, resulting in ‘yet another platform’ which is not fully in line with the operational procedures of the professional organization. On EU level, different coordination platforms exist such as INSPIRE, GDACS and ERCC all serving a different role during a crisis. However, none of these systems has been extensively used over a longer period of time due to various reasons. Even within the Netherlands where quite some effort has been put over the last few years to work in a ‘netcentric’ community during a crisis which is supporting by the LCMS platform, different usage levels are found. Some regions do not want to use the LCMS system, thereby limiting effectiveness of the specific response. name why what who INSPIRE Data infrastructure to enable sharing of environmental spatial information among public sector organizations and better facilitate public access to spatial information across Europe.
