International Forum on Disaster Nursing
I am currently in Kobe/Japan for a meeting on the International Forum of Disaster Nursing, presenting about our works in SahanaPy and the development cluster approach.
From the initial meetings, especially with Mrs. Janice Kishner (East Jefferson General Hospital, New Orleans), it is again clear that nurses are a leading force in emergency management, and there is a demand for tools like SahanaPy to better handle the situation, especially regarding:
- Logistics
- People Tracking and Tracing
- Human Resources Management
This confirms the priority list I already had for my SahanaPy works.
On the other hand, there’s still a huge need for localisation – and for better streamlining the development and project management in Sahana(Py) in general. There’s a lot of potential input, if we only take it up effectively and in time.
A portal supporting clusters from the foundation website would be very useful in this regard.
