Driving Innovation in Crisis Management for European Resilience

Introduction
? Ubiquitous ICT
changes volunteerism
? Civil society self-organises
into “smart crowd” (good) or
”smart mobs” (bad)
? Volunteers use social media
for grassroots efforts
? Increasing volunteer

Grassroots communities in Austria and Germany during refugee crisis 2015

Hierarchy and the smart crowd?
Pyramidal organisation,
goals, rules, planning,
training…
Trusted, reliable,
accountable.
Organic ad-hoc
organisation, leadership
unclear, fluid goals,
capacity unknown.
Trust? Reliability?
Accountability?

Evolution of volunteer management
Only institutional volunteers are good
volunteers! (old-school)
Acknowledge self-
organised volunteers, but
no individual steering
(crowdsourcing)
Crowdtasking
& resilient
communities

Crowdtasking @AIT
? Crowdtasking = assign specific tasks to selected, local volunteers
? FP7 Project ENVIROFI (2011): “we can use volunteers more efficiently with crowdtasking!”
? National project RE-ACTA (ARK, Frequentis & AIT, 2013): “how to apply crowdtasking principle to crisis
management?”
? Part of DRIVER experimentation
(SP3 and SP4): “how can we scale crowdtasking?” “What are the best suited tasks?” “What else is the method
good for?”

IPRED IV experiment at a glance
During the conference
? Registration (online & offline at
MDA boot)
? Getting familiar with the app
(volunteers)
? Getting familiar with backend
(MDA - coordinators)
During the final IPRED IV exercise
? perform some more realistic tasks
(e.g. report the situation, look for
victims, inform other citizens,
evacuate ...) and report on their
experiences with the app.
Goals
? Examine usability of tools and
validity of crowdtasking concept
? Evaluation of backend by MDA
staff; mobile app. by volunteers

Crowdtasker App: views & workflow
? Several views exist
(explore them!)
? But: all important
messages appear at
main (“news”) view
when needed.
Note:
This App is still
experimental.
We are interested to
know if it works
reliably on various
devices – especially
while running in a
background!

Crowdtasker App: event activation
? “event” is used to
invite volunteers to
participate
? Events invitations
filter based on
volunteers position
& skills
? We will define
several events in Tel
Aviv & at final
exercise site.

12
Crowdtasker App: tasks
? “tasks” are used to
ask volunteers to
perform specific
activities
? Each task is
contained within
specific event
? We can ask for a
specific number of
responses (e.g. “3
volunteers”) per
task
? Volunteer can
accept or reject
task

Crowdtasker App: notifications
? Notifications are
triggered upon
entering some geo-
polygon
? Provide information
on the area (e.g.
“dangerous area,
keep out of it”)
? No response from
volunteers
