Data Management for Crisis Response and Recovery

The success of an organization’s response to a crisis hinges to a large degree on its ability to manage the accompanying deluge of data.

Establish Capabilities to Ensure Future Resilience

The success of an organization’s response to a crisis hinges to a large degree on its ability to manage the accompanying deluge of data. Whether you’re responding to a natural disaster, an economic collapse, or a disease outbreak, the capability to leverage data as an asset is critical. For example, in a crisis such as the COVID-19 worldwide pandemic, government agencies, healthcare organizations, and higher education institutions must contend with data on topics ranging from stimulus fund disbursement to contact tracing to helping students safely return to campus.


Having the appropriate tools in place to productively manage an influx of data from a wide variety of sources can help organizations coordinate a timely, integrated, and wide-reaching response for the crisis at hand, smooth the path to recovery, and prepare for future incidents. Organizations must establish a way to collect and store data, as well as ensure that everyone from data scientists to policy makers are conducting analyses and making decisions based on high-quality data.
