Information Tools & Services

Timely and accurate information is integral to humanitarian action in both natural disasters and complex emergencies and is especially critical for effective early warning and prevention. OCHA’s information management activities support humanitarian decision making and response by providing effective systems for the collection, analysis, dissemination and exchange of key information and data.

These functions are jointly performed by the Early Warning and Contingency Planning Unit, the ReliefWeb project, the Field Information Support Project and IRIN, the Integrated Regional Information Networks.
