Digital first responders play a growing role in disaster response. Are there lessons Canada should learn?

Humanitarian responses need reliable communications infrastructure. Equipping municipal staff with the technical skills to repair damaged infrastructure could be crucial as climate change continues to increase the frequency of natural disasters.

Standardizing data collection could help non-profits fill gaps in critical community services. What’s holding them back?

Non-profits often create ad hoc policies for managing, storing and sharing data, but they don’t always fulfill legal obligations or allow for the full utilization of important information. Standardizing how data is handled helps ensure vulnerable people don’t fall through the cracks and creates new opportunities for collaboration.
