These are the slides to support my talk for the Emergency Management Association of Georgia May 26, 2011 Savannah Situational Awareness workshop. The message is that people, technology, social media and emergency management can all build a better awareness together using a mobile platform.

2. Citizen Engagement

3. Information aggregated from anywhere

5. Collaboration

7. Cuthbert, GA Tornado, Mar 1909, 6 dead. How has damage assessment changed over the years? Half a dozen negroes were killed here by a tornado last night and a dozen business buildings were almost totally destroyed. The tornado also tore off the corners and made a fantastic mutilations on many of the buildings. Several white persons were injured but so far as known none seriously. A revival meeting was in progress during the tornado which passed some distance from the church, whose occupants mistook the storm’s roar for thunder and remained at the service throughout the passage of the “twister.” Later many worshippers went, under clearing skies, to find their homes or those of other friends uninhabited from some causes, with here and there a house pulled to pieces almost completely as if some carpenter had taken it apart board by board. The greater part of the destructions was confined to the negro quarters. The total loss probably will reach $100,000. Cuthbert has 2,500 inhabitants. http://www3.gendisasters.com/georgia/4334/cuthbert,-ga-tornado,-mar-1909 How has damage assessment changed over the years?

Rescue teams and NGOs on the ground are using Garmin GPS . It only took a few hours to members of the free mapping community to respond. http://www.3d-today.org/2010_01_01_archive.html

44. Texas Border Security Trial Deployment of Border Cameras and the Birth of Long Tail Surveillance

45. The project generated the four rules of “long tail surveillance” 1) If it is on the Internet it will be viewed. 2) If it is on the Internet, it will be watched 24/7. 3) If viewers are provided a means to respond, they will respond. 4) The responses from the Internet will be self validating.

Proceedings of the 5th International ISCRAM Conference, Washington DC, USA, May 2008. “ Here, instead of rumor-mongering, we see socially-produced accuracy.” “ Of particular interest ... is the reference to the number of victims, and how this exchange once again establishes that these participants have the common goal of finding who the 32 victims are; reaching that goal is the purpose of this group”

47. Citizen Engagement + Mobile Technology + Social Media + Mapping = ? What's the REAL Difference?
