Dear all we are now going to start the logistic management module. This will help to effectively manage the logistics in a disaster. one can view this as the...
Hi Ravindra, I think you are actually talking more about a supply chain module for moving resources around. I would say this is very different from logistics...
Gavin fortunately your post popped-in before I spent too much time considering a reply :-) +1 to all (especially to the concept of "Logistics" being an...
... yes i what i mentioned seems more like supply management though i meant to include features to keep track of what is received ect. i agree that those two...
Sorry to drag this thread up from the grave, but just wanted to ask a brief question that might not have been completely answered in the previous discussion...
... I've just had a little hunt around and found this document which has a copy of the NZ Red Cross form (last page of pdf) which will be used in large events...
On this topic, it may be very difficult to get decent imagery up and running soon after a disaster. Even after NZ's flooding in 2004, it took weeks to organise...

If the data itself is in XML format can we assume that it will be accompanied by a DTD or XML Schema definition? If the answer is YES then it needs to move up...

Gav, all, Thanks Gav and a great resource - attached is another that hopefully might prove useful. These are the Red Cross and FEMA forms deployed for disaster...
Just to add some random input - not sure how relevant this is to current thoughts on GIS developments but here goes... 1/ In Aus just about every major...
I would envisage the data transfer (import /exprt) module to handle (import, use) these pictures, or what is the mechanism for acquiring them? pdm ... -- ...
Hi, Orthorectification and georeferencing of remotely sensed imagery is general a non-trivial task and generally requires trained analysts to perform - often...

... good point! ... . Those settings should go under sahana admin pages (like selecting your locale) ,and then all modules will use same measurement units,...

Another brief point, a lot of point spatial data is transferred by CSV and similar files. For example a file containing camp information, may contain latitude...

Paola - I think that the GIS / imagery requirements need to be identified independent of the data import/export. We can then see what part can be fitted into...
Thanks Louiqa you may well be right that its a separate requirement, although somehow I see it as having the same functional design, (reuse ?) - that would...

Paola - no question - metadata is essential. Chamindra and Thushari and I have discussed ontology elements for people and camps and so on to be used in data...
... disaster management in general. Louiqa I recall discussing ontology's and their usefulness in enforcing development consistency, but an ontology does not...
Louiqa, I am glad you see the need for it, because to me 'metadata' is the binding element between all the data - a lot of our 'search' and 'match' is done on...
Hi Don your comment is right, and it points to one of the challenges of this project, that is massive, and broader than anybody's individual competences -...
Hi Paola, ... project, that is massive, and ... for ... Yes - IMO this was identified in the very early stages by Chamindra and the rest of the Sri Lanka team....
