There is a post-disaster need…… for expert analysis to provide rapid and accurate commentary after significant events
… to harness the skills of experts from a wide variety of industries, affiliations, and locations
… for a central repository for experts’ interpretations to improve dissemination and discussion of data from current and past disasters
n After major disasters, it is not always feasible to deploy field teams due to damage and/or access restrictions
n Multiple field deployments can result in duplication of effort and costs
n Data is not commonly shared between multiple field teams
