48 Hours: Big Data age How should we deal with the Yaan earthquake?

In the afternoon, see my Sina Weibo is almost all about http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/13250.html "> Yaan earthquake News, many people I know in the forwarding of various information, so I can not be moved." and the micro-letter is really desolate ah. This time think Sina Weibo is not commercialized again how, at least it lets a lot of people pay attention to every minute after Yaan earthquake happening.

When I was a child, I saw a TV play called "48 Hours". 48 hours or 72 hours is the prime time for disaster relief after the quake, and I think of a question, what can ordinary people do for the disaster area within 48 hours? Seeing the news of display, I really want to do something, but in addition to a few days after the unit donation, what can be done? Start by sorting out the positive energy that I've seen on Sina Weibo.

First, one fund first time is brave to enter the earthquake zone, and many netizens have a boycott of the Red Cross. I would like to say that netizens can long snacks ah, first let professional organizations to carry out their duties, do not hold them to play 100% or 10% of the force, because the prime time of disaster relief is very limited.

Secondly, I saw that the Pacific Insurance Company has launched an emergency mechanism that can claim no insurance policy. A small company called Antu organized the farmers in Beijing to raise money for the disaster area. Tencent and Baidu have already completed the first batch of donations. Government officials and the military are rushing to the front line. Before, I have seen the Ministry of Civil Affairs before the disaster Relief Department director Wang wrote a book-"unchanged is the principle, change is the method." I know that the government department has a set of disaster relief mechanisms that have withstood the test in the Wenchuan earthquake and have been affirmed by international agencies.

However, I suddenly feel that this is still not enough. Because there is a clear lack of a social mechanism in disaster relief to get more people involved, instead of looking at news reports, but acting. For example, more users of micro-blog information can be summarized to the disaster Relief Command Department for data analysis. The authorities then provide more data to the public to form more effective self-organization, not just government relief. Our government department lacks management thinking in the big Data age and the first time to mobilize the social organizations. This will certainly affect the efficiency of the disaster response.

Disaster relief is a very professional thing. But this does not mean that we cannot brainstorm. I don't know what the Seismological Bureau is doing at the moment, but when so many people are concerned about the Yaan quake, more people will be allowed to join the action. In 48 hours, must let the information flow fully, can greatly improve the rescue efficiency. Otherwise too many people are bystanders, even a small number of enthusiastic people "care about chaos", not professional to go to the first line will be chaos. This is not a drill, but a combat. I forgot what time it was when I last took part in an earthquake drill.

In short, the earthquake should really strengthen the education after the earthquake. In particular, let the average person know what to do within 48 hours of an earthquake. In the opinion of Internet experts, everyone and each person's activity is a set of data. I would like to see a very large screen to know how the various data flow in response. This is not for the right to know, but I believe it will be more efficient.
