[governance] Workshop on IG and disaster preparedness - Thursday 2 pm

[Izumi AIZU]

Sorry for some promotional info, but I cannot help post this.

I will be reporting on our experience and findings from the Great earthquake
and Tsunami in Japan in March this year, use of Internet and some policy/
governance issues. We conducted some survey on how people used
or tried but could not use the Internet and mobile, TV, radio and other
info tools during the emergency and post-quake period.

The situation in North East Japan hit by the disaster is not getting that much
better. Many people are still suffering very much.

So, if you are interested, please come to:

Workshop 181,
How can Internet Governance impact disaster preparedness and response
and help save lives?

http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/component/chronocontact/?chronoformname=WSProposals2011View&wspid=181

It is hosted by Access Partnership, US-based private sector body.

thanks,

izumi
