Hi all, Some of you may have already seen this, I am fwding to our lists for the sake of archiving and for us (in the Training/Self Learning WG) to pick up from in a given series of directions : 1. understand how OCHA operates so that we can better support_them and better articulate_with_them 2. gear ourselves to be better prepared undertaking field work the UN_way, well the OCHA's way.
This document relates to existing ocha and DHN guide series over VTC for Classic organizations and classic Organizations for VTC see Digital Humanitarian Network > Materials [1] to which many of us Kate, Sev and I included collaborated Nico [1] = http://digitalhumanitarians.com/materials ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Andrej Verity <andrejver...@gmail.com> Date: Tue, Mar 4, 2014 at 2:48 PM Subject: [CrisisMappers] OCHA's Information Management Guidance for Sudden Onset Emergencies To: "crisismapp...@googlegroups.com" <crisismapp...@googlegroups.com> Dear all, I wanted to share with you a guidance document drafted for OCHA Information Management Officers when they deploy to sudden onset emergencies. OCHA Information Management Guidance in Sudden Onset Emergencies<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1m8VOx449lQx5VST2hzI80vgkuyNU5chBUYFiWPs7qr4/edit?usp=sharing> Although OCHA had general, internal IM guidance in the past, there was nothing that focused exclusively on sudden onset emergencies. After going to a few major emergencies and feeling that I was having to develop the "play book" each time, I decided that we needed to document guidance for our IMOs in future emergencies<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1m8VOx449lQx5VST2hzI80vgkuyNU5chBUYFiWPs7qr4/edit?usp=sharing>. So, when wrapping up my time in the Philippines, I decided that rather than writing a lessons learned paper that would eventually be lost in a filing system, I would sequester myself, Kristina Mackinnon, and Yaelle Link to write the guidance<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1m8VOx449lQx5VST2hzI80vgkuyNU5chBUYFiWPs7qr4/edit?usp=sharing>. All three of us work for the same OCHA section and were all deployed to the Philippines. This guidance<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1m8VOx449lQx5VST2hzI80vgkuyNU5chBUYFiWPs7qr4/edit?usp=sharing>has been shared with the OCHA IMO Community and we are now opening it up to the public to review & comment. I really want this guidance<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1m8VOx449lQx5VST2hzI80vgkuyNU5chBUYFiWPs7qr4/edit?usp=sharing>to be a living document and thus it will remain in Google Docs. If someone wants a "dated" copy, they can always save a PDF version. With this always open and available for comment approach, I honestly hope that the guidance<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1m8VOx449lQx5VST2hzI80vgkuyNU5chBUYFiWPs7qr4/edit?usp=sharing>will be regularly updated as new ideas emerge. When you look at the document<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1m8VOx449lQx5VST2hzI80vgkuyNU5chBUYFiWPs7qr4/edit?usp=sharing>, you will already see a large number of comments and several place holder comments (where I know more content needs to be added). So, *we welcome you to review and comment*. But, one disclaimer: inappropriately promoting a specific platform / technology in the document<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1m8VOx449lQx5VST2hzI80vgkuyNU5chBUYFiWPs7qr4/edit?usp=sharing>will removed. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to get in touch. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1m8VOx449lQx5VST2hzI80vgkuyNU5chBUYFiWPs7qr4/edit?usp=sharing Cheers Andrej -------------- blog.veritythink.com -- CrisisMappers | The Humanitarian Technology Network http://www.CrisisMappers.net To subscribe, follow this link: https://groups.google.com/group/crisismappers To unsubscribe, please send email to crisismappers+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com Visit CrisisMappers at: http://groups.google.com/group/crisismappers?hl=en --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CrisisMappers" group.
