Information and Communication Technologies for Development

As the project progresses, I seem to gain more exposure to the realm of disasters and the role of communication. On the one hand, there is ICT which helps to promote rapid dissemmination of information. On the other hand, I think of the role of how "communication" in general can help to solve problems. For instance, going off of our group discussion on Tuesday, imagine if certain information such as that on possible floods or cyclones, was communicated with citizens as soon as it was gotten. Perhaps a lot more damage will be mitigated.
