🔥 Situation Report: Wildfires in Hawaii (1/3) Hawaii | Mon, August 13, 2023, 7:00 PM As of Tuesday, August 15, 2023, the #MauiWildfires have claimed 99 lives, with officials deeply concerned that this number could potentially double in the next ten days. #HawaiiWildfires

Agree. This is a great way to make a difference. I used maps from humanitarian open street map back in 2010 to help transfer patients between healthcare facilities in Haiti. Join the global effort to make a local difference

This. "Scientists often conceive of producing information that is useful for “decision makers,” without realizing that their conception of decision makers is an abstraction."

As #HurricaneIan made landfall near Charlotte and Lee counties, reductions in population densities could be detected across the region. Charlotte and Lee saw population reductions between 65% and 74%. These reductions took place a day before the hurricane made landfall.

We're urging individuals in unaffected areas to make and keep their blood and platelet donation appointments. 🩸 Help ensure hospitals have sufficient supplies throughout this disaster and make an appointment now at rdcrss.org/3rcWqFM. (2/2)

A decade after Disaster Relief 2.0 was released, Kristen Pearn & Sarah A Jabbar joined me to reflect on the report. Today, we are sharing our findings. Thanks @JenniferChan7 & @jcrowley for acting as our advisors and providing invaluable insights. blog.veritythink.com/post/693364170…

#datasharing and #disasters. We often assume that sharing and communication ensures the use of data. There is so much more that goes to achieving meaning and value - which is a stronger driver for use. #humdata #qualitativemethods #peoplebeforedata

The Community Q&A with @humdata and Laura McGorman of Data for Good @Meta highlights some of the work that the CrisisReady team has been doing to improve understanding of mobility patterns in refugee receiving countries near #Ukraine. centre.humdata.org/community-qa-d…

Join us in conversation with representatives of @UNOCHA/@humdata, @UNICEF, and @JacksonYale, about #dataresponsibility, refugee displacement analysis, and the limits of mobility data during the #UkraineWar. Register now: harvard.zoom.us/meeting/regist… #ukrainerussianwar #UkraineCrisis

New population density change mapping in #Poland as of 3/13 shows decreasing rates in the border districts near Ukraine, consistent with UNHCR data showing declines in daily crossings. Increases continue in the southern, central and western areas of the country. #UkraineRefugees

Translational readiness is a team-based approach to using #MobilityData to strengthen the questions, solutions & the understanding of relevant problems in an emergency response, explained CrisisReady's @JenniferChan7 in a recent DMDN meeting. Learn more: bit.ly/MoblityDatainE…

The war in #Ukraine is far from the only one happening today where large numbers of people have been displaced. We need to show support for everyone who has been forced to flee their homes due to conflict or disaster. #Refugees #IDPs #ForcedDisplacement

This map shows summarized population density change data from Data for Good @Meta for Poland during the period from the 24th of Feb through the 27th. Cities and towns listed on the map have seen statistically significant increases in population density during this time period.

@seanmmcdonald Absolutely agree, and it’s often easier said then done. In practice it’s about rising the questions, harnessing teams to address this and changing the culture so that responsible data is part of this

As usual, the issue isn't as much "should this exist," as it is "for what purposes, under what circumstances, by whom."
