    Technology Salon and Internews present:

    Communication Channels in Crisis Situations

    Technology Salon West
    October 1, 2013
    San Francisco Bay Area
    Click here to RSVP

    On October 1st the San Francisco Technology Salon and the Vodafone Americas Foundation will welcome Internews Humanitarian Communication Director Jacobo Quintanilla and Internews former Burma Country Director Alison Campbell for a deep discussion on crisis communications.

    We debate current efforts in Burma, Syria (both inside and in ballooning refugee camps along the border) and South Sudan, three countries with very different circumstances, where disaster risk reduction is aided by improving local communications for and by their people.

    Please RSVP now to join your peers in technology and development to find answers to questions like:

    • What roles do local media and user-centric communications play in preparing for and acting in disasters?
    • How can ICT4D help strengthen communication channels for local communities to prepare and manage their own resilience when facing crisis?
    • How do communications in crisis situations differ based on the specifics of the event?
    • What are the top tools – technology, platforms, services – used today in crisis situations? What’s still needed?

    Please RSVP now to join the conversation. There will be no powerpoint presentations or remote participation, only an in-person, off-the-record intense debate of these questions by 30 industry experts sharing their experiences.
