Emergency Alert System
Phase: RELEASED
Origin: COMMUNITY
Emalsys is a tool to help humanitarian organisations manage their emergency rosters. Visualize in real time who is available, access their profile, location and set of skills to deploy them efficiently to the field. Emalsys was developed in partnership with the IFRC Emergency Response Units and designed to be used by any organisation. The quick alert launcher is powered by the ReliefWeb API and will be released mid-October 2015.
Humanitarian Videos
Phase: BETA
Origin: RW IDEAS
Video reporting has become an increasingly effective way for humanitarian organizations to communicate the work they undertake. ReliefWeb is testing a new humanitarian ‘Videos’ section to help you access a collection of humanitarian information videos from our content partners.
Content Trends
Phase: ALPHA
Origin: RW IDEAS
What has been the focus of humanitarians over the past decade? Which countries have experienced disasters? What are humanitarian organisations reporting about? Where have the humanitarian jobs been located? To help answer some of these important questions we've developed ‘ReliefWeb Content Trends’, an interactive way of analyzing ReliefWeb’s extensive humanitarian information database.
Interactive Timeline Map
Phase: BETA
Origin: RW IDEAS
Visualizing humanitarian information through interactive tools has the opportunity to help users digest multiple and complex information. OCHA’s Visual Information Unit, with technical support of ReliefWeb, has developed a pilot timeline map to display humanitarian information, situation timelines and maps.
