The document discusses a project funded by the EU aimed at improving crisis management in Europe through innovative volunteer engagement methods, particularly the concept of 'crowdtasking.' It highlights the evolution of volunteer management during crises, especially during the 2015 refugee crisis in Austria, and introduces the 'crowdtasker' app designed to efficiently assign specific tasks to local volunteers. The project emphasizes the need for reliable communication tools and effective organization of volunteers, both institutional and self-organized.

- 1. Driving Innovation in Crisis Management for European Resilience This project has received funding from the European Union’s Seventh Framework Programme for research, technological development and demonstration under grant agreement no 609043 IPRED IV Conference, Jan 2016, Tel Aviv CROWDTASKING IN CRISIS SITUATIONS PRESENTATION BY: DENIS HAVLIK (AIT), INON MOSHKOWITZ (MDA), JASMIN PIELORZ (AIT), LUDWIG KASTNER (FRQ)
- 2. Driving Innovation in Crisis Management for European Resilience 2 Introduction Ubiquitous ICT changes volunteerism Civil society self-organises into “smart crowd” (good) or ”smart mobs” (bad) Volunteers use social media for grassroots efforts Increasing volunteer convergence on- and off-line Grassroots communities in Austria and Germany during refugee crisis 2015
- 3. Driving Innovation in Crisis Management for European Resilience 3 Hierarchy and the smart crowd? Pyramidal organisation, goals, rules, planning, training… Trusted, reliable, accountable. Organic ad-hoc organisation, leadership unclear, fluid goals, capacity unknown. Trust? Reliability? Accountability?

Fotos by Austrian Red Cross http://application.oe3.fm/teamoesterreich/karte.html Institutional volunteers are the backbone of fireman & medical first responders “New volunteers” in Team Österreich less/no training, less/no hierarchic organisation, but large numbers Filling sandbags, clean-up, distributing provisions, etc. Cooperation of Austrian Red Cross and nationwide media Successfully in operation since 2007
- 5. Driving Innovation in Crisis Management for European Resilience 5 Evolution of volunteer management Only institutional volunteers are good volunteers! (old-school) Acknowledge self- organised volunteers, but no individual steering (crowdsourcing) Crowdtasking & resilient communities
- 6. Driving Innovation in Crisis Management for European Resilience 6 Crowdtasking @AIT Crowdtasking = assign specific tasks to selected, local volunteers FP7 Project ENVIROFI (2011): “we can use volunteers more efficiently with crowdtasking!” National project RE-ACTA (ARK, Frequentis & AIT, 2013): “how to apply crowdtasking principle to crisis management?” Part of DRIVER experimentation (SP3 and SP4): “how can we scale crowdtasking?” “What are the best suited tasks?” “What else is the method good for?”
- 7. Driving Innovation in Crisis Management for European Resilience 7 IPRED IV experiment at a glance During the conference Registration (online & offline at MDA boot) Getting familiar with the app (volunteers) Getting familiar with backend (MDA - coordinators) During the final IPRED IV exercise perform some more realistic tasks (e.g. report the situation, look for victims, inform other citizens, evacuate ...) and report on their experiences with the app. Goals Examine usability of tools and validity of crowdtasking concept Evaluation of backend by MDA staff; mobile app. by volunteers Participant acting as crowdtasking coordinator during field exercise

Register (registration code!) Let the app run in the background
- 9. Driving Innovation in Crisis Management for European Resilience 9 Crowdtasker App: online registration “create account” Accept to get the User Registration Code Install the app (android only!) Register Fill in the profile information
- 10. Driving Innovation in Crisis Management for European Resilience 10 Crowdtasker App: views & workflow Several views exist (explore them!) But: all important messages appear at main (“news”) view when needed. Note: This App is still experimental. We are interested to know if it works reliably on various devices – especially while running in a background!
- 11. Driving Innovation in Crisis Management for European Resilience 11 Crowdtasker App: event activation “event” is used to invite volunteers to participate Events invitations filter based on volunteers position & skills We will define several events in Tel Aviv & at final exercise site.
- 12. Driving Innovation in Crisis Management for European Resilience 12 Crowdtasker App: tasks “tasks” are used to ask volunteers to perform specific activities Each task is contained within specific event We can ask for a specific number of responses (e.g. “3 volunteers”) per task Volunteer can accept or reject task
- 13. Driving Innovation in Crisis Management for European Resilience 13 Crowdtasker App: tasks (2)
- 14. Driving Innovation in Crisis Management for European Resilience 14 Crowdtasker App: notifications Notifications are triggered upon entering some geo- polygon Provide information on the area (e.g. “dangerous area, keep out of it”) No response from volunteers
