I worked as volunteer co-ordinator during the April earthquake in Nepal, supporting the amazing work Kathmandu Living Labs was doing with <a href="http://quakemap.org" target="_blank">quakemap.org</a> and <a href="http://quakerelief.info" target="_blank">quakerelief.info</a>.</div><div><br></div><div>1. First task is to get enough reports on the system for it to be usable. Lots of facebook groups, chats and twitter statuses are a rich source of information but they still need to be mapped. </div><div><br></div><div>One team of volunteers need to immediately start taking these reports from social media and putting them on the Ushahidi deployment. Once the number of reports crosses 500, the media, public and responders will start taking the effort seriously and you'll have reports coming in automatically. Make sure you include the source (link to twitter feed, facebook status, news item etc.) in the description field so that we can remove duplicate reports when the dust settles down a bit.</div><div><br></div><div>2. Setup a process, everyone doing everything isn't a great idea. Divide the volunteers into teams that do only one specific work. I've attached a presentation that outlines the team division and the workflow that we created during the April earthquake.If needed, we can arrange a Skype call so that I can explain the workflow to the team.</div><div><br></div><div>3. When a report appears on the deployment and multiple responders engage their resources, it is a loss of valuable time. Explain clearly to the responders that they need to communicate with the volunteer team. If they are responding to a report, they should add a comment on the report that they are taking care of it e.g if the Red Cross is sending medical supplies to a certain place based on information from a report, they should add the sentence "Red Cross is sending a team in this location" as a comment to the report. </div><div><br></div><div>If they face any problems while responding, they should add another comment. If a report is closed(either because the casualties couldn't be saved or relief was provided), they should again add another comment to the report giving this update.</div><div><br></div><div>Please check this report <a href="http://quakemap.org/reports/view/2174" target="_blank">http://quakemap.org/reports/view/2174</a> as an example of how comments can be useful.</div><div><br></div><div>4. A dedicated team of volunteers should read the comments and update the report status. They should also add any updates they might have based on their verification as comments. We had added a field called "Actionable" to every report that would specify whether the report was "actionable", "non-actionable", "urgent" or "closed". The team of "comment approvers" would read the comments coming in and change this "actionable" status so that people could filter out "non-actionable" and "closed" reports. This was very useful in the later days because we knew exactly which reports didn't need to be acted upon. </div><div><br></div><div>5. It is very tempting to try to give user ids to every organization and ask them to update the reports themselves, but from our experience, this doesn't work. All organizations will be too busy focusing on relief efforts so asking them to add comments and having a dedicated team of volunteers reading these comments and updating the report status is the right way to go.</div><div><br></div><div>6. Explain to people how to use the CSV export feature to allow people to download the reports in excel format. This is very useful when working with less tech savvy organizations and for printing out the reports for offline access.</div><div><br></div><div>Feel free to reply with any questions or feedback.</div></div><div><br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Apr 19, 2016 at 3:13 PM, Nirab Pudasaini <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:developer.nirab@gmail.com" target="_blank">developer.nirab@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);border-left-style:solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div><div>Hi all, <br><br></div>KLL might be able to help with their experience of quakemap deployment during Nepal earthquake.
