I’m a doctor with an expertise in stress and resilience. I’ve also worked in refugee health with World Health Organization (WHO). I want to caution us against glorifying the trauma of the Ukrainian people. 🧵 (1/5)

This map shows summarized population density change data from Data for Good Meta for Poland during the period from the 24th of Feb through the 27th. Cities and towns listed on the map have seen statistically significant increases in population density during this time period.

The war in #Ukraine is far from the only one happening today where large numbers of people have been displaced. We need to show support for everyone who has been forced to flee their homes due to conflict or disaster. #Refugees #IDPs #ForcedDisplacement

Translational readiness is a team-based approach to using #MobilityData to strengthen the questions, solutions & the understanding of relevant problems in an emergency response, explained CrisisReady's Jennifer Chan in a recent DMDN meeting. Learn more: bit.ly/MoblityDatainE…

New population density change mapping in #Poland as of 3/13 shows decreasing rates in the border districts near Ukraine, consistent with UNHCR data showing declines in daily crossings. Increases continue in the southern, central and western areas of the country. #UkraineRefugees

The Community Q&A with OCHA Centre for Humanitarian Data and Laura McGorman of Data for Good Meta highlights some of the work that the CrisisReady team has been doing to improve understanding of mobility patterns in refugee receiving countries near #Ukraine. centre.humdata.org/community-qa-d…

#datasharing and #disasters. We often assume that sharing and communication ensures the use of data. There is so much more that goes to achieving meaning and value - which is a stronger driver for use. #humdata #qualitativemethods #peoplebeforedata

Ahh… a bit of good truth here. “ The people who already saw themselves experts in the field would be least capable of original thought” - The Premonition - A pandemic story

Launching the IFRC | Solferino Academy IFRC Data Playbook v1! Thousands of people participated in pilot tests/workshops and there are contributions across the RCRC staff and volunteers (plus partners!). preparecenter.org/toolkit/data-p… #DigitalTransformation

A decade after Disaster Relief 2.0 was released, Kristen Pearn & Sarah A Jabbar joined me to reflect on the report. Today, we are sharing our findings. Thanks Jennifer Chan & John Crowley for acting as our advisors and providing invaluable insights. blog.veritythink.com/post/693364170…

We're urging individuals in unaffected areas to make and keep their blood and platelet donation appointments. 🩸 Help ensure hospitals have sufficient supplies throughout this disaster and make an appointment now at rdcrss.org/3rcWqFM. (2/2)

As #HurricaneIan made landfall near Charlotte and Lee counties, reductions in population densities could be detected across the region. Charlotte and Lee saw population reductions between 65% and 74%. These reductions took place a day before the hurricane made landfall.

This. "Scientists often conceive of producing information that is useful for “decision makers,” without realizing that their conception of decision makers is an abstraction."

Agree. This is a great way to make a difference. I used maps from humanitarian open street map back in 2010 to help transfer patients between healthcare facilities in Haiti. Join the global effort to make a local difference
