Crisis management relies on communication, vital info must reach those in need, fast. This builds trust and speeds up responses. @k_meesters equips SXM Gov with skills and tech. Stay tuned for IM training on Microsoft Teams! Supported by VNGi, SXM Gov, financed by @RESEMBID.
A pleasure to give #InformationMangement training to Sint Maarten govt as part of the 'Fostering Resilient Crisis Management' program, combining practical guidance, theory and hands-on experience

Sometimes silence speaks louder than words…
Yesterday, people in Adana #Türkiye stayed silent so that emergency workers could hear where survivors were located under the debris.
Thank you to the Bulgarian rescue team for their lifesaving work. 🇧🇬🙏
The search continues.

De aardbeving in Turkije en Syrië leidt ook in Nederland tot een stortvloed aan hulpacties, de ene nog hartverwarmender dan de andere. Maar, zeggen experts: denk goed na wat je stuurt, en of het misschien niet beter is om geld te geven ad.nl/buitenland/spullen-inz…

Tja, wat heb je aan een paper tijdens een crisis? :) Kennis is mooi, maar je moet het ook kunnen gebruiken, overdragen en/of overdraagbaar maken.
Maar het was erg leuk om jullie kennis te mogen laten maken met crisis IM. #IedereenHulpverlener :)
Je kan papers schrijven over informatiemanagement bij ramphulpverlening, of je kan er een vette serious game van maken 🤩 Als er walkie talkies zijn weet je dat het leuk wordt. Hoeveel levens heb jij al gered in de pantry? (Thanks voor de leuke middag @k_meesters!)
