The team has been in Manila for the past 1 1/2 days meeting with people from the  Shelter Cluster, OCHA Information Management, and the International Organization of Migration Staff.

We are also confirming and setting up future meetings for the next days in Cebu, Tacloban and Guiuan.  Daily, the team is connecting with Jennifer Chan in Chicago via Skype.  While the bandwidth is excellent from Manila our Skype call dropped about 6-7 times.  This didn't stop us from working on the next few days activities. After our 15 min call
the DRL team headed off to bed at 11:30pm Filipino time & Jennifer worked the ER at Northwestern Memorial Hospital.  Here is a Skype video screen shot of the team in Manila.

    Bartel Van de Walle has worked on the virtuous circle of sensemaking and decisions in crisis management. For the past 20 years he has worked on information systems for better crisis response in the field and as an associate professor at Tilburg University.

    Tina Comes develops systems and tools to support decision makers dealing with complexity and uncertainty. Her work as Associate Professor in ICT at the University of Agder aims at bridging the gap between technology and users.

    Together, we are working on improving disaster resilience, since the ability to prepare for, manage and learn from risks and crises has become a prerequisite for sustainable growth in an increasingly complex, uncertain and dynamically evolving world.
