While we're all talking about ICT disaster preparedness, I'd like to point out there is a NTEN-sponsored conference on ICT disaster preparedness coming up in October : Global ICT & Humanitarian Relief http://www.nten.org/conferences-ict
It is focused more internationally, but as we've seen, the needs of New Orleans is not so far off from Indonesia. This conference will bring together practitioners with hands-on experience and fresh ideas about the use of ICT to share "lessons learned" and innovations, to identify opportunities for collaboration, and to craft best practices. The conference will focus on ICT in all phases of relief operations: preparation and planning; emergency response; long-term relief; transition to self-sufficiency. And yes, I'm a Session coordinator (Session 3C: Long-term ICT solutions), so this is a semi-shameless plug.
