Making Preparedness Information More Accessible
Making Preparedness Information More Accessible
Yesterday we handed off the beta version of the new Disaster Assistance component Kit that we built for the American Institute of Architects’ Communities by Design Initiative. The kit is a fully functional disaster preparedness curriculum that aggregates AIA Communities by Design’s excellent resources to one website that runs off of a usb drive that’s actually smaller than my thumb nail.
The kit is more than just a great resource library – it also bridges the gap between disaster preparedness and disaster response in an exciting way.
All of the website components – the site itself (powered by Drupal), the server that runs it (powered by Xamp), the browser (Firefox on a stick), and the PDF viewer (Sumatra) – are all self contained on the drive. This means that the kit will work on any computer in the world regardless of whether it’s connected to the internet, and it will run on both PCs and Macs.
