1 THE DIGITAL REVOLUTION How Data and Connectivity Are Revolutionizing the World By Lillian Pierson June 18 th, 2013

2 THE MEETING SPOT CUSCO, PERU Digital Connections Can Be Just As Real, If Not More So.. Digital Connectivity Has Created Extreme Freedom; Freedom of Location, Freedom of Access to New Ideas, And Freedom to Work In Regions of the World That Were Previously Inaccessible.

3 2009 VS Boring Monotonous Limited 2013 Exciting Overwhelming Limitless The Power of Sharing From Competition to Collaboration

4 THE NEED FOR INFORMATION Social Media Business Analytics Social Analytics Spatial Analysis Digital Humanitarianism To Succeed, You Will Need Lots of Information and You Will Need to Know How to Use It.

5 DID YOU HEAR ABOUT TYPHOON PABLO? The power to revolutionize Is in your hands 20,000 Tweets. 12 hours first-ever UN crisis map generated solely from social media data

6 WHAT DATA MAKES DATA BIG? Lots of. Velocity, Varity & Volume When supply is not a limitation, handling and analyzing become problematic you will need tools.

7 DATA SCIENCE The Definition of Data Science Relevant Programming Skills R Programming Language or SAS SQL Python Java / Hadoop Do you like To DIY?

8 MY CURRENT ROLE Lillian Pierson, E.I. Spatial Data Scientist Data Analytics Engineer

9 INTERACTIVE DATA ANALYTICS Custom Dashboard Design Data Analytics Consulting Internal Data Analysis Public Launch Data Visualizations = Insight

10 DATA VISUALIZATION SIMPLE TOOLS

11 LOCATION INTELLIGENCE SPATIAL DATA + ANALYTICS Interactive Map-Based Data Analytics Reporting

12 SOCIAL DATA ANALYTICS THE POWER OF SOCIAL ANALYTICS Since Your Gonna Be Online, Might As Well Make It Easy

13 FINDING THE MOVERS AND THE SHAKERS SOCIAL NETWORK ANALYSIS Where Do Ideas Come From??

14 SOCIAL NETWORK ANALYSIS THE DIGITAL HUMANITARIAN CLUSTER Study It! Analyze It!

15 ENGAGING THE SOCIAL NETWORK Tweet It! This become a natural way of life ~~ With practice, social becomes intuitive ~~ The benefits continue to amass. Blog It! Sell It! Help Others Tag Them!! Follow Them!! Learn From Them!! Help Them!!

16 FROM SOCIAL TO SPATIAL Going from the Who and the How to the Where..

17 WHAT IN THE HECK IS GIS?!? Geographic Information Science Geospatial Information Studies GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEM Where Matters!

18 GIS & SPATIAL DATA ANALYSIS DESIRABLE SKILLS ESRI ArcView QGIS / GRASS GIS Python SQL Visual Basic R Programming Language.NET Up for a little DIY?

19 GIS GOES WAY BACK! THE HISTORY OF GIS 1832 present

20 THE ONE-CLICK MODEL DISCOVER PRIME AREAS FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

21 THE OLDEN DAYS BEFORE THE ONE-CLICK Slow Excruciating Error Prone Redundant I hate my life right now Automate With Models And Scripts!

22 THE ONE-CLICK MODEL DATABASE SET-UP

23 THE ONE-CLICK MODEL ROAD ACCESS AND PARCEL SELECTION Road Access Analysis Component Parcel Selection Analysis Component Spatial Rules

24 THE ONE-CLICK MODEL ZONING ANALYSIS Zoning Analysis Component

25 THE ONE-CLICK MODEL FUTURE LAND USE ANALYSIS Future Land Use Analysis Component

26 THE ONE-CLICK MODEL RASTER CALCULATOR

27 THE ONE-CLICK MODEL FINAL MODEL

28 THE ONE- CLICK MODEL THE GIS USER INTERFACE

30 THE FUTURE OF THE ONE-CLICK

31 BE THE CHANGE FROM GIS TO CRISIS MAPPING

32 CRISIS MAPPING & DIGITAL HUMANITARIAN RESPONSE 2003 GIS users begin to take a real personal interest 2005 Google Releases Google Earth 2007 Crisis Mapping Platforms Arise Its Not the Technology or Capability, Its How People Are Using It. ~~ Be Inspired!!

33 CRISIS MAPPING & CROWDSOURCING Ushahidi is born January 12, 2010 The Game Changer Haiti Earthquake

34 DIGITAL HUMANITARIAN ORGANIZATIONS AND PLATFORMS Ushahidi Crisis Mappers Standby Task Force OpenStreetMap & Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Elva Harvard Humanitarian Initiative The Work of Dr. Patrick Meier

35 USHAHIDI The Power of The Crowd Since 2008 Utilizes crowdsourcing and opensource technology Short-term monitoring tool Disaster Response Election Monitoring Conflict Monitoring Human Rights Violations

47 DR. PATRICK MEIER THE GODFATHER OF CRISIS MAPPING The Work of Dr. Patrick Meier Director - Social Innovation at the Qatar Foundation s Computing Research Institute (QCRI) Co-Founded & co-directed Harvard s Program on Crisis Mapping & Early Warning Directed Crisis Mapping at Ushahidi Co-founded CrisisMappers, Digital Humanitarians & Standby Task Force

48 SO YOU WANT TO BE A DIGITAL HUMANITARIAN? Desirable Skills: Data hacking / Data science Data analytics Spatial data analysis and mapping Crowdsourcing Open-source applications Crisis mapping and analytics Let s look at a deployment From the inside.

78 HSI 2013 FINAL OUTCOME NGO trainees see the power of crisis mapping SBTF team Experience building Map-to-Ground experience, live crisis mapping training, great networking 1 st time Navy collaboration with SBTF

79 HSI 2013 TAKE AWAYS Data Verification Trust Contingency Planning Parallel Systems Testing Vulnerabilities and Delays Transparency Risks / Dangers

80 DIGITAL HUMANITARIAN RESPONSE RISKS Everything is hackable. Do no harm.

81 TAKE AWAYS Make our own rules Live our own dreams Change the world Away from competition Into collaboration Success requires Lots of information Knowledge of how to use it Automate tasks Find multiple uses for the same work output We are empowered Create the change you want to see in the world Live deliberately
