An IBM Italy team delivered a grant to Italy’s Department of Civil Protection, creating a new custom module for Sahana. Initial discussion with Italian stakeholders had followed earthquakes in that country in 2012. The Evacuees Assistance (EVASS) modification to Sahana was later developed to help track and provide resources to refugees while coordinating among volunteers and organizations, creating a single, clear view of a given situation.

AidIQ developed the Resource Management System (RMS) for the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) to allow National Societies to share information on their Staff, Volunteers, Members, Offices, Inventory and Assets. Neighboring National Societies and the IFRC can quickly see what is available in the event of a major disaster. This information is integrated with data from other Geographic Information Systems (GIS), such as Population Density, Rainfall and Topogra

The Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) Project Portal collects information on all multi-country and national level DRR projects and initiatives in the Asia Pacific region implemented since 2005. By facilitating information sharing across the region, the Portal aims to advance the Hyogo Framework for Action (HFA) goals in building the resilience of nations and communities to disasters. This includes making disaster risk reduction a high priority on local and national levels. There are many priorities

For the first time, the Sahana Software Foundation self-deployed - hosting a public instance of our Sahana Eden software. This was also the first time Sahana Eden was deployed for a disaster response. The site was hosted at http://haiti.sahanafoundation.org and the community managed access for registered users (those from charitable organizations, government agencies and educational institutions were given create/edit permissions to the site; while most of the data remained publicly available (r

IBM partnered with the Chilean Red Cross and the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) to open a Disaster Management Center in Chile. The center was established to help re–establish contact among family members separated by the February 27, 2010 earthquake, which devastated many areas of this country. (Note: Chile was hit by a 7.2 aftershock on March 11.) The solution included a series of modules running on Sahana, IBM high performance servers, and communication and productivity module

Following Typhoon Ondoy / Ketsana on Sept 26, 2009 IBM organized a four-day workshop on Sahana and Sahana customization for 30 senior managers in disaster response-related field. The workshop was not only a training course but also an open forum for relevant organizations to coordinate their responses.

In October 2009, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka in southern India were hit by the most devastating floods to hit the region in 100 years, causing hundreds of fatalities, displacing millions of people, and leaving millions more without access to drinking water or food across dozens of districts in the two states. Following the floods, IBM worked in close conjunction with the governments of Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka to deploy Sahana.

IBM China supported the customization, translation, and deployment of Sahana (Agasti - 0.6 branch) for use by the Chengdu Police. Modules used: The main modules that were customized were the DVR (Disaster Victim Registry) and the CR (Camp Registry) module. A DVS (disaster victim search) module was created. The forms were simplified for the requirement and enhancements included linking for DVR to CR and AJAX functionality. DVR and CR was for private government use, whilst the DVS was made availab

IBM provided: 1. Consulting services to interface with government officials, identify requirements, determine the Sahana modules to be used and customized, and establish data collection processes. 2. Technical support services to install and customize Sahana. This support consisted of the services of IBM employees who are skilled in software applications built on the Linux-Apache-MySql-Php platform. These individuals made themselves available both remotely and in the disaster affected region. Th

With intense winds of 155 mph, Cyclone Sidr hit the southern Bangladesh coast wrecking havoc on coastal communities and affecting approximately 2.7 million people. The casualty numbers are rising- with over 2,000 fatalities and thousands missing- and disaster information remains limited.

The EUROSHA platform was developed in partnership with the Saha

AidIQ worked with the National Disaster Operations Center and other stakeholders in Timor Leste to design the Disaster Risk Management Information System with support from UNDP. It records information on disasters, organizations, incidents, assessments, projects and resources. This information can be organised by location, organization and disaster event - and includes data on hazards, risks and weather to provide different situational awareness perspectives. This solution was developed using th

AidIQ worked with community groups to design the Community Resilience Mapping Tool to allow them to better picture and understand their community’s resilience. It combines data about the communities such as organizations, places, people, activities, hazards and evacuation routes along with open data sources that AidIQ collected such as demographic data from the US Census and hazard data from USGS and FEMA. This data can be visualized on maps and charts. This solution was developed using the Saha

AidIQ were commissioned by the HELIOS foundation to create a portal to allow NGOs working in the field to be able to share information on their In Stock & On Order relief items. This allows them to use up surplus items, avoid goods expiring and avoid duplicate procurement. Future iterations could include sharing of information on Planned Procurements to allow bulk discounts & shared freighting/importation costs. Data can be automatically uploaded from HELIOS instances or via manual data entry or
