Making Emergency Communication Effective
LIRNEasia’s 3rd Disaster Risk Reduction Lecture
On 19 June 2012 from 15:00 – 17:00 at the Sri Lanka Foundation Institute, 100 Independence Square, Colombo 7
The main talk will focus on actions to improve alerting and situational-reporting to make emergency communication more effective. The talk will focus on establishing an alerting profile and a multi-agency situational-awareness software tool that the Sahana Software Foundation has developed. Such a tool can help bring organizations together to more effectively communicate disaster information and ease them away from unproductive silo thinking. It will also allow the Disaster Management Center to perform its functions better.
Moderator: Major General (retd.) Gamini Hettiarachchi, Director General, Sri Lanka Disaster Management Centre
Speaker
Nuwan Waidyanatha, Senior Research Fellow, LIRNEasia
