Did you know that mobile data can be a very effective tool in crisis and disaster management? Mobile positioning data can significantly contribute to a better crisis response by estimating the number of people affected by the crisis, as well as their movements within the dangerous area.
Our partner, Positium, knows this all too well, which is why they developed a dashboard with precisely this goal: to make crisis response more efficient and faster.
You can watch a short video explaining the tool and why cooperation between researchers and first-responders is essential in crisis response at this link.
