A major shake in the same region #Turkey : 6.8 Magnitude. Albeit it more south. Especially dangerous around the already instable buildings and debris.

Zo coördineren Nederlanders de hulpverlening in Turkije: "Zodat plekken niet twee keer worden doorzocht."

[Kenny Meesters @k_meesters]

@derksenmartijn @FleurBesters Zeker, door goed inzichtelijk maken wat er nodig is, maar ook waar, wanneer en hoe je het daar krijgt. Je kunt niet alles sturen, maar beter informeren en communiceren helpt al voor een groot deel.

Sometimes silence speaks louder than words…

Yesterday, people in Adana #Türkiye stayed silent so that emergency workers could hear where survivors were located under the debris.

Thank you to the Bulgarian rescue team for their lifesaving work. 🇧🇬🙏

The search continues.

@Bianca75701007 @TilburgU @hotosm @YvesDEer Super! Dank je wel!

De aardbeving in Turkije en Syrië leidt ook in Nederland tot een stortvloed aan hulpacties, de ene nog hartverwarmender dan de andere. Maar, zeggen experts: denk goed na wat je stuurt, en of het misschien niet beter is om geld te geven https://t.co/n3cWCsQ1N0

[Tilburg University Economics and Management @TilburgU_TiSEM]

Om goede hulp te kunnen bieden is samenwerken van cruciaal belang. @k_meesters in gesprek bij @EenVandaag #aardbeving #turkey #crisis https://t.co/geGhOHGGFe

[EenVandaag @EenVandaag]

Andere landen sturen massaal hulp richting Turkije: dit is hoe dat in zijn werk gaat

Tja, wat heb je aan een paper tijdens een crisis? :) Kennis is mooi, maar je moet het ook kunnen gebruiken, overdragen en/of overdraagbaar maken.

Maar het was erg leuk om jullie kennis te mogen laten maken met crisis IM. #IedereenHulpverlener :)

[Mignon Wuestman @MignonWuestman]

Je kan papers schrijven over informatiemanagement bij ramphulpverlening, of je kan er een vette serious game van maken 🤩 Als er walkie talkies zijn weet je dat het leuk wordt. Hoeveel levens heb jij al gered in de pantry? (Thanks voor de leuke middag @k_meesters!)
