BenefitsMaking disaster information more readily available when, where, and as needed.
Lowering the cost of producing, providing, and using disaster information.
Leveraging the efforts of existing disaster information and relief networks.
Supporting more timely and better coordinated disaster response.
Creating synergy to enable the production of new kinds of information.

Barriers Information is fragmented and hard to find
Different languages, cultures, and mandates
Lack of methods to integrate information
Information is often not formatted to be useful when and where needed
Sharing information

Principles
PeopleKnowledge must be volunteered; it cannot be conscripted
People need time to provide and search for knowledge
Sharing must be recognized, rewarded, and facilitated
A champion is insufficient; a majority must participate
InfrastructureBuild a real/virtual “place” for exchanging knowledge
IT greatly increases market efficiency
Don’t force fluid knowledge into rigid structures
Don’t focus on systems; also consider content

MechanismsTalking (real, virtual)
E-mail (individuals, list servers, distribution lists)
Chat rooms, forums, discussion groups
Communities of interest, informal networks
Groupware (teams, working groups)
Conferences, workshops, knowledge fairs
Data bases, information bases, knowledge bases
Digital libraries (repositories, search, retrieval)

Finding the Right InformationThere are some excellent
disaster Web sites
Some order is emerging,
Most sites are hard to find
We need a structure for disaster information
