If you were to manage it manually
❑ Channels N(N-1)/2 = O(N2)
❑ Information Lost in relay and propagation
❑ Redundant Data Collection
❑ Inconsistent Terminology
❑ Manual Collation / Calculation
❑ Delayed Situational-Awareness

Can IT help?
❑ Scalable management of information
No stacks of forms and files to manage
❑ Efficient distribution of information
Accessibility of information on demand
❑ Automatic collation and calculation
No delay for assessments and calculations
❑ Live Situation Awareness
Reports are updated live as data goes in

A quick overview
TOOLKIT – Essentially a set of software building blocks
HFOSS – Humanitarian Free and Open Source Software platform built specifically for Disaster Management
MODULAR - Highly Configurable so that it can be used in a wide variety of different contexts
ADAPTABLE - Easy to modify to build Custom Solutions to adapt to changing environments
Deployment Options
Host locally in the command center
on a Laptop
Host in the Cloud
Synchronize these 2 together...
Currently in the Phillipines
Help the International Open Source Network (IOSN) with using Sahana for the National Telehealth Center
Managing requests and donations for organizations and sites
collect, share and map information about the status of their clinics and other facilities affected
Nurses in the Department of Health call center are now using Sahana to help plan their relief efforts
In 2012 a the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), in the Philippines, implemented a Relief Goods Inventory & Monitoring System (RGIMS) using Sahana
DSWD wanted to use the RGIMS to receive relief goods on behalf of external organizations - members of the Sahana Community implement a solution, in less that 24 hours, and the next day this was deployed to DSWD’s Servers!
Just in – President's Office Requested additions

IFRC Resource Management System
“The RMS isn’t just a piece of software. For the first time in the history of the Red Cross and Red Crescent, RMS enables National Societies to view and analyze hazards and vulnerabilities together with their material and human resources like volunteers, staff, offices and warehouses on a digital up to date map to examine how well its people and resources are positioned.”
- John Gwynn, Head of Organisational Development IFRC Asia Pacific zone
Geographical Information Systems (GIS)
Maps and more …Much faster to understand data
Powerful analyses and data sharing tools
Quick and easy selection of attributes to create Pivot tables
Filter data with drill down options
Visualize the data with Charts
