Research

Our continued work on a vexing problem for disaster shelter operators in the U.S.: supporting human-milk fed infants/toddlers AND not forcing families to switch to formula. It's a meal, not medicine.

We have developed an open-water safety program, for families to use where there is no lifeguard on duty. 

We are developing material for communities to combat swatting - especially when it is a threat to their K12 schools. This is work-in-progress at this point.

Researching family reunification practices, including the special aspects of schools and hospitals.

Researching a paradigm shift needed in Operational Planning for formalizing the exit missions and modalities. 

Also, our internal blog has some random thoughts and projects which we have started, but not progressed to the point of more detail.

Barton Dunant supports the research work of the Center for Emergency Management Intelligence Research (the CEMIR), which can be found at www.cemir.org.

We are helping advocate for collaborations, cooperation, coordination and communication between governmental organizations and non-governmental ones - in all the disaster cycle phases.
