  Title Designing Disaster Information Management Systems 2.0: Connecting communities and responders Type Conference Article
  Year 2019 Publication Proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response And Management Abbreviated Journal Iscram 2019  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords Information Systems, Community Engagement, Participatory Systems, Systems Design, Inclusive Systems  
  Abstract Information and supporting information systems is a key element in an effective emergency response. From

creating situational awareness to informed decision making, information enables responders to optimize their

decisions and operations. Today, with the increased availability of information technology around the globe, a

new active player in the field of information management is emerging as communities are becoming increasingly

active in the field of information gathering, analyzing and sharing.

However, communities may have specific requirements and approaches to using information systems in crisis

situations. Moreover, connecting information systems between communities and responder pose specific

challenges due to the different information needs, capacities and incentives to use them. In this paper we build on

the DERMIS premises and explore through a case study if and how these principles apply to inclusive information

systems. We present the initial findings of this work of designing information systems involving both communities

and formal responders.

  Title Evaluating Platforms for Community Sense-making: Using the Case of the Kenyan Elections Type Conference Article
  Year 2018 Publication ISCRAM 2018 Conference Proceedings – 15th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response and Management Abbreviated Journal Iscram 2018  
  Volume Issue Pages 924-934  
  Keywords Sensemaking, community engagement, evaluation, requirements, resilience  
  Abstract The profusion of information technology has created new possibilities for local communities to self-organize and respond to disruptive events. Along with the opportunities, there is also a series of challenges that need to be addressed in order to improve societal resilience. One of these challenges is to make sense of the continuous stream of information to create a coherent understanding and improve coordination. The research presented in this paper focuses on the socio-technical requirements of IT platforms that support sense-making and coordination. Using a comprehensive evaluation exercise based on real data from the 2017 Kenyan elections, we examine the development, workflows and use of this shared situational awareness in a group decision making process. In this manner, we identify requirements for resilience platforms and identify further research directions.
