How can information technologies better support humanitarian actors in identifying imminent disasters?

Introductory presentationsÂ
1) The need for and use of information in climate-/water- related humanitarian disasters
2) New tools, data and ways of conveying information
3) Institutional/procedural factors influencing the the use of new information for timely and effective decisions and actions.
Break-out groups
Following the presentations, there will be concrete questions for the audience to discuss in break-out groups focused on
1) Humanitarian actor information needs
2) New data and information possibilities
3) Addressing other factors hampering the use of new technologies, information and data.
