Issues in recovery
 Missing an integrated approach to disaster recovery,
starting with a shared information overview
 People from different groups (professionals,
volunteers) are not working together
 Potential help from volunteers (responding
community) is not reaching the affected community

community and the affected community
 Enhance needs awareness in the professional community
 Enhance recovery activity awareness in the affected
community
In addition to needs/capacity overview:
 A baseline situation overview from
the affected area
 Plan / activity sharing between
professionals  affected

“Intermediate” evaluation
11-12 June, Rotterdam, the Netherlands
 Simulated disaster game “COBAGAME”
 Three groups (20 affected; 11 responding; 5 professionals)
 Different neighbourhoods in disaster area;
 Interacting via COBACORE platform to ask and receive help
Method
 Observations, questionnaires, brainstorm discussion
 Qualitative data on: COBACORE concept, usability and
usefulness, operational value & feature additions/changes

Preliminary results
COBACORE seen as big opportunity, real help in disaster
recovery.
 Affected:
 Feedback on status and progress of needs
 Personal overview of own needs and help offered
 Responding:
 Clear overview of aggregated needs and capacities
 Support in coordination with other responding communities
 Professionals:
 Tools to assess ‘mismatches’: areas without capacities
 Possibility to prioritize needs / activities
21
Conclusions
 COBACORE focuses on comprehensive disaster recovery, by
 Supporting needs-capacity matching
 Aiding community members to find and help each other
 Creating recovery awareness in professional community
 First iteration of COBACORE platform tested with end-users
 Opportunities for added value in disaster recovery
 Usability and feature design issues should be addressed
 Future work:
 Continuing development and extension of the platform
 2015: Evaluation in field setting on the Dutch-German border
