Through an international collaboration of researchers, technology companies, nonprofits and policy makers our team develops scalable expertise in Data Readiness, Methods Readiness, and Translational Readiness, by securing data pipelines that provide actionable analyses to meet pre-articulated needs defined by policy makers and response agencies.
The data required to respond to disasters are pre-identified, and access are pre-negotiated across stakeholders, even if the data streams are only activated during crises.
The data vary in nature of origin, representativeness, temporal and spatial scales, and there is an urgent need to develop standard frameworks for the analysis and interpretation of these disparate data during disasters and humanitarian emergencies.
Even when high quality data analysis are ready for near-real-time disaster response, public health departments often do not have embedded local capacity to drive data driven respons, and our network of researchers and public health professionals works to support the actionability of these data.
