ISCRAM2010: 7th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response and Management
DEFINING CRISIS MANAGEMENT 3.0
May 2-5 2010
Crown Plaza Hotel
Seattle, Washington USA
We recognise that the dreadful earthquake in Haiti requires the attention of many ISCRAM participants who would be submitting papers by the final deadline of Monday 18th January. In consequence we are extending the deadline for submission of work-in-progress papers, discussion papers and practitioner reports by a week until January 25th.
We also recognise that even this may be too tight for some people deployed to deal with the Haitian crisis. If you really are unable to meet the new deadline because of this, please email iscram2010@iscram.org explaining the situation and we will do our utmost to allow an even later submission.
Details of the conference are available at www.iscram.org/iscram2010
Mark Haselkorn, Conference Chair
Simon French, Programme Chair
Brian Tomaszewski, Program co-Chair

Haiti Earthquake - ISCRAM Live

Saturday, 16 January 2010
Many people have been wondering what ISCRAM is doing regarding the horrific situation in Haiti. The answer is that we are working out what we can do.
We are not a direct response organization. Our primary role is to change the future of crisis management rather than the present. We hope that the enormous efforts the ISCRAM community has devoted toward this end over the past seven years are now bearing fruit and are helping to save lives and relieve suffering.
However, we are not immune to wanting to have a more tangible and direct effect where possible, and, as a very young organization, are grappling with the question of what we might do to support the immediate situation in Haiti as well as the broader question of what our role can and should be with respect in catastrophic events. Our community offers formidable resources:brains, knowledge and extensive professional networks. But it is not obvious how these are mobilized in a meaningful and systematic way.
We will be opening a conversation on this broader question within the community, and will take it up at the upcoming conference in May. In the meantime, we welcome ideas and suggestions on how we might contribute to the present situation (bearing in mind that a complaint or suggestion is an act of volunteering; we have no spare 'they's lying about, you is both 'we' and 'they').
In the meantime, we recognize that one of our responsibilities as an organization is to enable our community members to contribute to the response, so will be extending the Short Paper and Practitioner Report deadline for ISCRAM2010. Please look for an announcement from Simon French, the Program Chair, for further details.
We have also established a page on ISCRAM Live so that you may follow and report on ISCRAM-related Haiti activities: ISCRAM Live Haiti, please use the tag #iscramhaiti in your tweets, blogs, flickr uploads, etc.
We also encourage everyone make use of the extensive ISCRAM network through our Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter feeds.
With our sincere gratitude and thankful recognition to those of our community members who are actively engaged in response efforts, those who are supporting the response in indirect ways, and those whose past efforts are now bearing fruit.

BEST WISHES AND A PERSONAL INVITATION TO BECOME AN ISCRAM MEMBER IN 2010
ISCRAM has been on quite an extraordinary journey since May 2004, when a group of researchers active in the then newly termed "ISCRAM" domain gathered for the first time in Brussels. We have since organized conferences annually in 7 other cities in Europe, the USA and China, attracting an increasingly diverse crowd of researchers and practitioners with a variety of interests, experiences and expertise.
The ISCRAM Community has continued to grow and mature over these past five years, to finally become a formal international non-profit organization at the 2009 Gothenburg Conference.
Quite probably, you have been an active part of this journey. Perhaps you attended a previous summer school in Tilburg, or you submitted and presented your work at one of our conferences in Brussels, Delft, Gothenburg, Newark, Washington or Harbin, or you contributed to the special editions of journals or books that have followed from these events. If that was the case, we thank you for that - without the contribution and commitment from you and many others, there would quite simply not be an ISCRAM community. If you were not involved with ISCRAM before, we do hope you will be soon and we will be glad to welcome you at one of our forthcoming activities.
Whether you are an 'old' ISCRAM friend or you just got to know us, I do write you this letter to ask you to join us in this new and crucial phase of the ISCRAM community, and become a regular member of the newly established ISCRAM Association. Below you will find more information on what this membership can offer you: reduced registration fees for the conference, summer school or IJISCRAM journal but above all the knowledge of becoming part of this vibrant and welcoming global community.
I am therefore looking forward to welcoming you as a 2010-member of the ISCRAM Association, and I hope to be able to meeting you soon.
Warm regards,
Bartel Van de Walle - Chairman of the ISCRAM Association Board
