Description
ECB4’s first activity was an assessment intended to cover not just technology but the ways in which technology is used. Lasting from September 2005 to March 2006, the assessment included visits to all IWG members’ headquarters and to selected field sites to ensure that the field perspective is emphasized. The present report contains the findings of the second field visit, to Sudan. It will form part of the overall assessment report, which the IWG will use to decide how to improve information management and systems in emergency response.

Description
This report presents a snapshot of the status of information management in the Cluster/Sector approach approximately one year after the issue was first raised in July of 2006, in front of the 65th IASC Working Group.
At present, there still appears to be significant gaps in the understanding of ‘who is doing what where’ and in the expectations of who will do what where in respect to information management in emergencies.

Transitional Shelter Site Tracking project
keywords:
This simple web site does the simple job required of it. It is merely a public repository for assessment information, for shelter providors in Sri Lanka to see the larger picture.
It is technically simple, it uses too much acrobat, it's not clear who vets the information or how to submit it, but the fact that this information is published is the most important thing.
Why UNICEF is hosting this information and not the Sri Lanka HIC, isn't clear to me

Logistics cluster
http://www.logcluster.orgThis summer the logistics cluster, headed by UNJLC produced this web site to help coordinate field logisiticians from all organisations working on a particular operation.
It's open source, it's web 2.0 (just), it was graphic designed by a professional, it is standards compliant and accessible, it has feeds from ReliefWeb it even has a list of Accronyms [sic]. Typical page size is 40k, with 120k of cachable linked files. Not too bad, although a low bandwidth version might still be helpful.
