A Survey to Make You Think

Just last week I was talking to Glen Woodbury about having him as a guest on my Disaster Zone Podcast. During the conversation I quickly figured out that Glen had moved on from the nuts and bolts of being an emergency manager and was now focused much more on the academic side of things, looking at disaster resilience as an idea, not the physical aspects of it. Watch for a podcast coming around mid-December with Glen. For the record — Glen sold me my first personal cellphone!

Which brings me to a request for professionals working in emergency management to take a survey — which I did. It is not long, but it will make you think. Part of the "thinking" will be about "what the heck are they talking about?" With that in mind, I encourage you to take the survey to figure out for yourself that perhaps there is more to learn about in "the backend and future of emergency management and disaster resilience."

This is coming from Vestlandsforsking/Western Norway Research Institute:

Dear colleague,

We are distributing a survey as part of the INTPART BDEM (Big Data in Emergency Management) project on collecting, storing, managing, and sharing resilience-based knowledge between different communities. Can you please help by:

a)      Completing it
b)      Sharing it with your networks to get as many responses as possible.

As you’ll see the survey is quite short and 99% closed questions so very easy to complete. The survey is open until 29th of November.

This is the link to the survey: https://forms.gle/xkjpP6YC5pA16qjn8
 
Thank you for your help!
