Humanitarian aid and relief teams work around the world to help the hundreds of millions of people who are affected by natural disasters, famine, disease, and conflict, and who are attempting to improve their economic and social condition. However, humanitarian organizations are seldom staffed and equipped to investigate the complex communications solutions and information technologies that could multiply response effectiveness. Lives are put at risk and critical tasks are neglected as field teams struggle with poor communications and paper processes. HumaniNet delivers communications and technology assistance to a broad spectrum of humanitarian relief, aid, and mission organizations. By providing access to communications solutions and field applications, Humaninet multiplies the response effectiveness of field teams in emergency and routine operations alike, while helping managers to identify qualified service providers and control costs.
