GoalsDiscuss why existing I&R software products are practically unusable
during the acute phase of a disaster
Explore specific community 2-1-1 related experiences throughout recent disasters
Attain the knowledge and means to effectively plan to capture and disseminate information during future disasters.

Monroe 2-1-1 Disaster Information System Situation
Not using their standard I&R software productUsing paper call sheetsHad created and were updating a Word- generated directory which was disseminated to call agents and volunteers multiple times a day
![Page 10: Surviving the Chaos of Disaster-Related I&R:](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070420/56815e28550346895dcc8205/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Monroe 2-1-1 Disaster Information System Solution?
Word-generated directory made available in electronic format via websiteUsing paper call sheets until their standard I&R vendor product was brought back on line
Premature.All resources in the region dumped into a single interface.Not designed to deal with a disaster.
No satisfactory Disaster Information System solution discovered.

Not using their standard I&R software product—500 agency locations flooded and out of serviceHad created and were updating a Word directory which was disseminated to call agents and volunteers multiple times a dayUsing paper call sheetsNear the end of the acute phase of the disaster, but still receiving mostly disaster-related calls.

To make matters worse, her roof had been damaged and there was extensive water damage to her home,” said a volunteer. “We were able to find a shelter close to her home, arrange transportation for her and her children, and got her registered with FEMA for financial reimbursement. She couldn’t thank us enough.”
She Couldn’t Thank Us Enough

Why Standard 2-1-1 I&R Products Don't Work for Disaster
1) They Lack Disaster Functionality
2) Not Designed With Disaster in Mind
3) Standard Resources Often Inaccurate
