Join the Sahana Software Foundation for
SahanaCamp LA to be
held on October 24-25 at the City of Los Angeles’ Emergency
Operations Center Media Center Conference Room.
SahanaCamp LA is a free 2-day program designed to
provide individuals and organizations with an understanding of the
needs for managing information in response to disasters paired with
a practical technical workshop to provide instruction in how Sahana
Software can be deployed within and across organizations.
We have previously organized
SahanaCamps in India, Vietnam, Taiwan and
Portugal - all with great affect and impact. Most recently, after
attending our
SahanaCamp@ISCRAM in Lisbon this past May, the
Portuguese National Volunteer Firefighting Association (Bombeiros)
has been deploying Sahana Software as a national coordinating system
for their organization with the assistance of the Sahana Software
Foundation. We hope to forge similar partnerships in Southern
California through this program.
During
SahanaCamp
LA , we will be using our
Sahana Eden Open
Source Emergency Management Platform to explore solutions for
the Los Angeles region, including needs for: volunteer management,
donations management, registering organizations, asset management,
inventory management, request management, project tracking and
assessments.
I am attaching a brief flyer about the event with additional
information.
Most information about the event is now posted both on our web site
here:

and on EventBrite which we are using for the registration system for
the event:

Please feel free to share this information and invitation with
anyone you think might be interested in attending this event.
I look forward to seeing you in a few weeks for
SahanaCamp LA. Please let me know if you have any
questions.
Best regards,
Mark
