The new ReliefWeb: 5 Highlights for the humanitarian practitioner
“The latest open source technology to offer a cleaner design, more intuitive navigation, and a powerful search/filter engine and delivery system” – that’s what the long-awaited redesign of the #1 portal for relief and aid workers promised us. And indeed, while still under construction with new tools and services being integrated: The new ReliefWeb looks much simplified and more user-friendly! Here some highlights, keeping in mind that things are being changed as we write:
- Streamlined main feature tabs on Updates, Countries + Disasters, Jobs and Trainings – very helpful and clear.
- A new more user-friendly search engine with handy filters – but we hope they will fix the existing limitations (eg range of date rather than just months to click through) and make it more accurate.
- Very snazzy geolocational density maps – hopefully they can refine and extend them a bit, and make them filter-able.
- As before invaluable but refined, the possibility to register for email subscriptions and RSS feeds – a must-do for all professionals in this field.
Remember: There is no information overload, just filter failure! - Check out the Briefing Kit which lets you create a single pdf document with all the reports you have filtered on a specific area.
