IBM Boosts Support for Emergency

 

ibmResponse Network IBM has committed PHP 40,000,000 (USD$860,000) worth of technology, services and expertise as part of its contribution to the Philippines’ disaster rehabilitation and preparedness efforts. IBM is strengthening its partnership and collaboration with the National Disaster Coordinating Council (NDCC) towards the effective implementation of its Emergency Response Network (ERN) — Sahana Go Kit. Sahana is an integrated set of free and open source web-based applications that provide solutions to large-scale humanitarian problems in the aftermath of a disaster — from finding missing people, managing aid, managing volunteers, tracking camps effectively between Government groups, the civil society (NGOs) and the victims themselves.

The coverage of the assistance may include the provision of IBM servers and storage, project management services, a review of NDCC’s IT network infrastructure, provision of software developers to customize Sahana, ERN related services and volunteers from IBM On Demand Community and the IBM Corporate Service Corps (CSC).
