MANY PEOPLE WANT TO HELP, FEW KNOW HOWEveryone thinks helping is easy.Most do it out of convenience. Does anything think about the impact of their deeds?Some help out of pity, and they get angry when they see the recipients have a nice meal or buy something nice.

Is helping any help?
Not really…At least not in the way we are doing it…
![Page 26: Good Intentions are Not Enough](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020301/587c713c1a28abd04e8b5ad1/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Often when we help…We make life decisions for
those we are helping.
![Page 27: Good Intentions are Not Enough](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020301/587c713c1a28abd04e8b5ad1/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Often when we help…We fail to see the whole picture
and feel content to help.
![Page 28: Good Intentions are Not Enough](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020301/587c713c1a28abd04e8b5ad1/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Often when we help…We search the approach most efficient to
us not to those we are trying to help.
![Page 29: Good Intentions are Not Enough](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020301/587c713c1a28abd04e8b5ad1/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Often when we help…We destroy the very same environment
we are trying to help.
![Page 30: Good Intentions are Not Enough](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020301/587c713c1a28abd04e8b5ad1/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Often when we help…we displace local capacity.
![Page 31: Good Intentions are Not Enough](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020301/587c713c1a28abd04e8b5ad1/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Often when we help…we measure our success by the delivery
of help or completion of actions not actual impact.
![Page 32: Good Intentions are Not Enough](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020301/587c713c1a28abd04e8b5ad1/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN DISASTER STRIKES IS AN UNFORTUNATE TWIST OF FATE.
![Page 33: Good Intentions are Not Enough](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020301/587c713c1a28abd04e8b5ad1/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
WHAT HAPPENS AFTERWARDS IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY…
![Page 34: Good Intentions are Not Enough](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020301/587c713c1a28abd04e8b5ad1/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
When disaster strikes…
Some people are given a burden:
The burden of enduring the disaster and the conditions that follow
![Page 35: Good Intentions are Not Enough](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020301/587c713c1a28abd04e8b5ad1/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
When disaster strikes…
Some people are given a gift:
The gift of being sparedfrom disaster.
![Page 36: Good Intentions are Not Enough](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020301/587c713c1a28abd04e8b5ad1/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
How can we not use our
gift to lift the burden of
others?
![Page 37: Good Intentions are Not Enough](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020301/587c713c1a28abd04e8b5ad1/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Disaster Response Lies…
• Only experts can help.
• You will be a burden in the field.
• We don’t need anything, we have all we need.
• Do not send clothes or food, send money.
![Page 38: Good Intentions are Not Enough](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020301/587c713c1a28abd04e8b5ad1/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
We all can respond…
• And guarantee an efficient response…
• Donate Action, not money, not words…
• But how?
![Page 39: Good Intentions are Not Enough](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020301/587c713c1a28abd04e8b5ad1/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Disaster Response Basics:You can be useful in the field if…
• Bring your own supplies and food to the field.– Or buy them locally if possible.
• Engage the local stakeholders and work for them, with them.
• Are connected.
• Have independent mobility.
• Listen, learn, respect.
![Page 40: Good Intentions are Not Enough](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020301/587c713c1a28abd04e8b5ad1/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Relief 2.0 (what is it?)
• A focus on running the last mile in disaster relief
• through independent units of local stakeholders and foreign volunteers in the field
• supported by mobile technologies and social networks
• to fill the gaps created by bureaucracy and slow response from top-down hierarchies.
![Page 41: Good Intentions are Not Enough](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020301/587c713c1a28abd04e8b5ad1/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Relief 2.0 (how does it work?)
• Individuals and organizations report incidents, needs and requests from the field using their mobile phones and the Internet.
![Page 42: Good Intentions are Not Enough](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020301/587c713c1a28abd04e8b5ad1/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Relief 2.0 (how does it work?)
• These incidents are reviewed, verified, completed, enhanced and their information spread to others
by individuals and groups on social networks– Housewives, youngsters, volunteers, anyone.
until they are addressed, solved or matched with someone who takes care of it.
![Page 43: Good Intentions are Not Enough](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020301/587c713c1a28abd04e8b5ad1/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Relief 2.0 (the last mile)
• Small independent units then complete the cycle by actually addressing those issues and delivering the response required and supported by the social network.

When disaster strikes…The social infrastructure remains, people’s capacity is untouched…
![Page 46: Good Intentions are Not Enough](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020301/587c713c1a28abd04e8b5ad1/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
What appears to be random or chaosis neither…
![Page 47: Good Intentions are Not Enough](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020301/587c713c1a28abd04e8b5ad1/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
There is order, social structure…
![Page 48: Good Intentions are Not Enough](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020301/587c713c1a28abd04e8b5ad1/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
There is people,like you and me, willing and able.
![Page 49: Good Intentions are Not Enough](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020301/587c713c1a28abd04e8b5ad1/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Who are the people who survive disaster?
![Page 50: Good Intentions are Not Enough](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020301/587c713c1a28abd04e8b5ad1/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Disasters create survivors,they don’t create refugees.
It is the conventional relief system what turns survivors into refugees.
![Page 51: Good Intentions are Not Enough](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020301/587c713c1a28abd04e8b5ad1/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Disasters do not destroy knowledge or capacity
Teachers are still teachers, doctors are still doctors, nurses are still nurses, carpenters are still carpenters…
![Page 52: Good Intentions are Not Enough](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020301/587c713c1a28abd04e8b5ad1/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
DANGERS OF SOCIAL INTERVENTIONMaking life decisions for those we are helpingIs there “Over Helping?”
![Page 53: Good Intentions are Not Enough](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020301/587c713c1a28abd04e8b5ad1/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
ARE YOU HELPING?Should you do nothing?Should you support status quo?
![Page 54: Good Intentions are Not Enough](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020301/587c713c1a28abd04e8b5ad1/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
SO THEN WHATCAN WE DO?
![Page 55: Good Intentions are Not Enough](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020301/587c713c1a28abd04e8b5ad1/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)

It’s not charity, it’s not donation.Both businesses reach a collaborative business agreement:
36 mth low interest loan, restore inventory, line of credit, etc.It’s a business deal that preserves their dignity.

Relief 2.0 Enterprise
We need to start working with disaster survivors and enable them as entrepreneurs before they are turned into refugees by conventional relief.

There are so many new problems happening everyday. Complaining does not solve problems, protesting does not solve problems.There is only so much the government or NGOs can do. Being big and bureaucratic allows them to act fast and raise lots of funds, but they are slow to respond to changes.We need innovation and people to take actions and accountability.We all live on the sample planet.
