Take Aways• Absence of a common culture of trust and willingness to collaborate and openly share
information– People and organization culture driven
• Lack shared understanding of participants roles, responsibilities, capabilities and activities– Gov’ts, Military, IOs (UN, ITU, ..), NGOs,.. Affected Nation
• Leverage International and Regional organizations, USG elements, public-private partnerships
– Unmanaged expectations and misperceptions– Lack shared situation awareness
• Affected nation information infrastructure, laws, and governance and ICT business processes• Evolving crisis response operational environment• No broad assessment of responder ICT needs and needs of other sectors such as healthcare
• Ad-hoc and reactive International ICT response actions– Lack preparedness planning and response leadership
– ICT responses stove-piped and no agreed ICT response architecture and processes
• Information sharing important but….– No coordinated approach to assess and develop a common situational overview of the supporting
ICT infrastructure and responder information sharing needs
– Information overload and stove-piped sources and methods are manpower intensive
– Distrust of USG information systems and misperceptions of their uses
• Leverage ICT as enabler of recovery
Trust is the Precondition for Collaboration and Information Sharing
