NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / March 15, 2023 / Oxfam and the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction estimates the number of climate-related incidents have tripled in the last 30 years, with over 60,000 deaths globally due to natural disasters. And technologies such as blockchain, the Internet of Things (IoT), big data, and cloud computing are revolutionizing climate change and managing natural disasters. Existing disaster response management systems are wrought with complex, time-consuming IT recovery processes, and companies are finding themselves unable to adjust disaster response systems. This is mainly due to the rapidly changing business and compliance environment, as well as a lack of regular disaster response drills and comprehensive failover testing. When technology is applied intentionally, it can seamlessly support better planning, drive stronger community readiness, and empower communities to be more resilient.
On March 30, 2023 from 1:00-2:00 pm ET, learn how organizations and companies can work to accelerate disaster response. Speakers include:
- Morgan Singer, Digital Empowers Lead, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS)
- Mark J. Smith, Executive Director for Community Engagement and Partnerships, American Red Cross
- Bryan Knouse, CEO, OWL
This virtual forum is the eighth in a series addressing our most pressing societal challenges as a part of the Digital Empowers program.
