International Humanitarian Communities and Disaster Management Interaction
Mr. Pat Lanthier and Mr. Ken Zita
Strategic Issues for MCIP Outreach to the International Humanitarian
Community (IHC)
Ken Zita
Network Dynamics Associates LLC, USA
20 August 2009 – MCIP / Pohukaloa Training Facility
Key MCIP Planning Issues for IHC Outreach
• What is the optimal planning process to formalize MCIP priorities, plans and initiatives for outreach to the IHC communities?
• What actions are required to define, structure, and deploy new collaboration programs for information sharing?
• How can the military adopt best practices for HADR from civil society?
• Which new Internet, social networking, data sharing and related technologies are most appropriate to facilitate MCIP’s role in HADR?
• How can MCIP goals and objectives be best communicated to the diverse range of actors outside of the military?
Information sharing and collaboration for HADR is now an established priority for PACOM and MCIP
The Need for Collaboration
• MCIP is at a complex inflection point:– Shift from military => IHC– Shift from voice interoperability => data interoperability
• Today there is a wide gap in approach between military and non-military HADR procedures and data reporting and sharing requirements
– HADR operational mandates, technology solutions and perceptions of priorities vary widely between military and civilian actors
– Coordination between constituencies is often ad-hoc and limited in scope
– Communications landscape is prone to legacy obstacles
• All participants require better common operational pictures and the facility to self-organize through data sharing
Expanded collaboration with the IHC community is essential for successful HADR operations
Key IHC Concerns Working with the Military
• One-way flow of information
• Mistrust over military operational mandate, especially in conflict zones
– Is the military partisan or a neutral broker in HADR?
– Countries with foreign military forces remain problematic
• Continuity of mission– Operational cooperation dependent on individual personalities
– Institutional ties and trust relationships often do not survive rotation
• IHC attitudes are evolving – Chief Executive political attention
– UN-ISDR (Hyogo Framework)
– OCHA “International Humanitarian Partnership” (IHP)
– NGO increasing willingness to engage
MCIP needs to understand IHC issues and perspectives in order to coordinate HADR operations more effectively
MCIP/Pacific Endeavor Opportunity
• Institutionalize communications from ad hoc interactions with IHC to collaborative alliances
• Exercise joint working groups, TTX and public conferences to build trust relationships
• Identify new technologies and metadata sharing frameworks
• Tell a consistent story to achieve unity of mission
• Save lives
Identify mutual perspectives, issues and operational approaches to “communications interoperability”
1. Develop Overall Strategy for MCIP Outreach
• MCIP mission and vision is excellent, but:
– Additional strategy is required to address “communications interoperability” and data sharing issues
– What data can/should/should not be shared?
– Need to prepare gap analysis of MCIP “today” vs. “to be” states and metrics for measuring success
Prepare an integrated, iterative strategy to define/refine MCIP initiatives with the IHC
2. Strategic Communications / PR
• The 95/5 rule
• Define StratCom program– MCIP board messaging
needs and issues analysis
– Message development among MCIP national interest groups and IHC
• Develop programs– Web portal and online
communities– Conferences and
Workshops– White papers – Media
Technical interoperability alone will not realize MCIP strategic goals; effective public relations is essential to achieving unity of mission and Shared expectations
3. New Technology and Best Practices
• Review HADR best practices adopted by large NGOs, IOs and national DMC/EOC
• Develop strategic scenarios for data sharing and collaboration
• Identify IHC/private sector innovations
• Develop case studies, briefings and recommendations:– Social networks
– Data syndication, Meta-data
– Video
– Real-time situational awareness, etc.
Many early-stage architectures and approaches are competing for acceptance but there are no de facto standards for HADR communications / collaboration.
Key Take-aways
1. Two strategic shifts are taking place simultaneously• Voice interoperability => data interoperability • Military collaboration => collaboration with IHC
2. Social networking and Internet technologies are transforming the context in which MCIP operates• Political and IHC experiences shape expectations of the
military• New solutions appear at the speed of the market
3. Perceptions matter• PR is strategic

TTX Training Goal & Objectives
Goal: To help MCIP evolve as a fully functional multinational group of nations that can deploy and join together after a major disaster; with deployable communication equipment and systems that will work collectively to ensure nations’ military resources are efficiently and effectively used when supporting HA/DR operations in the Asia/Pacific Region
Objectives:
- Test that the MCIP/MCIG tools support multinational humanitarian assistance and disaster relief operations
- Test MCIP nations’ ability to de-conflict the communication frequency spectrum and build a multinational network
- Enhance MCIP nations’ capacity to work together
