Went to an event today on attempt to provide a new web portal to allow people doing stabilization/reconstruction and disaster prevention and response. It’s trying to address the problem that people that there’s a lot of fragmented groups across the world working on these issues and they often don’t communicate well. Government side, civil-military divides and splits between multiple agencies further complicate things.
So the websites try to provide web 2.0 solutions to be a one stop shop allowing people to link to relevant resources or post original content. Worth checking out if you are interested in these resources or have some resources of your own that you want to promote.
My favorite comment was from someone in the audience who noted that the Brits no longer use the term “lessons learned” they use the term “lessons identified.” That is perhaps the least Orwellian name change I’ve ever heard of. Yay for increases in accuracy.
