NGO Crisis Collaboration Support

HRA partners with health-focused NGOs to create a secure environment for sharing assessment data, response activities, and unmet needs. This trusted space fosters collaboration while safeguarding privileged and sensitive information. NGOs are highly effective at developing informal collaborative mechanisms, but a lack of structure can limit their reach and efficiency. HRA provides the necessary framework to turn informal cooperation into a structured and sustainable system.

• Provides a secure online platform for NGOs to share data and coordinate response efforts, ensuring seamless collaboration while protecting sensitive information.

• Hosts regular collaboration calls for NGOs to discuss challenges, identify solutions, and explore direct partnerships—similar to FEMA VAL/VOAD calls, but with a sharper focus on healthcare-specific needs.

• Facilitates direct connections between NGOs and local, state, and federal emergency managers to enhance visibility, share critical data, and improve coordination during emergencies and recovery efforts.

• Encourages real-time data sharing and analysis, enabling faster decision-making and reducing duplication of efforts in disaster response.
