Crisis Networking - Imagine

Who would YOU call on to make a heroic effort during a pandemic?
In this week's episode, Ember designed her own crisis networking solution. She asked ALL of the doctors in China to log into an emergency website to help run virtual Pearl River Flu clinics -- to answer medical questions from faraway patients, and analyze patient photos taken on mobile phones.
Ember's solution was an ideal emergency call to action. Why? Because:
- It's an easy-to-accomplish task,
- in a short amount of time
- that doctors already know how to do.
Ember played to the doctor's strengths -- and helped amplify their ability to help with an online network.
Not everyone has medical training. But everyone has a part to play during a crisis.
Your mission this week: Design an emergency call to action for a NON-medical community. Who else could log in and make a heroic effort during a pandemic outbreak?
Be creative: What could non-doctors do online during a pandemic to help? It can be anyone -- teachers, cooks, artists. Who else can you imagine saving the day during a pandemic?
Your objective:
It's the year 2011, and the next pandemic flu has just reached YOUR part of the world. You've been asked to organize one group of people online to do something that matters. Who are they, and what heroic effort will you ask them to make? Tell a story in a video or blog post about the crisis networking solution YOU devise.
This objective is worth +15 resourcefulness.

I would organize a group of doctors, and politicians to come up with ways to stop the flu and find an effective vaccine for it and have the politicians relay messages to the public keeping them informed and as calm as possible. I think that this wold be effective in a given situation such as a pandemic flu.

The non-medical crisis networking group I would put together for this outbreak would include the world's top chefs and vitamin experts. Because different spices and cooking ingredients effect the body differently, the chefs in my networking group would be able to inform people about what foods they can prepare to help them feel better faster. Furthermore, the vitamin experts will be able to give recommendations about what natural supplements can be taken to reduce the effects of the pandemic flu so people can start to overcome the illness faster.

I would call on my mom because then we could alert the president and more important people about the crisis like doctors and scientists.
-
-
I would get a group of highly trained doctors from the CDC and the mayo clinic to help figure out a way to stop the pandemic.
-
-
I would create a "safe zone" where only healthy people could live while they try to find the cure.
-
-
I would ask professors and doctors to work together and find out solutions on how to make a vaccine or cure.
-
-
I would ask the top doctors in the nation to inform me about disease and cures to help figure what we could to do make a cure.

I would round up the amazing scientists of the time to help cure the pandemic. If they would succeed they would wipe it out, so the remaing lives would be saved. If they fail though they could keep the flu contained to allow the others some extra life.

I would call my mom and dad. Both of them are very smart and logical.
-
-
I would round up a group of the world's greatest geniuses (like Hal Olson*) to form online conversations to come up with solutions to current crises.
-
-
I would call my dad. He is very smart and encouraging and I trust that he can fix any situation
-
-
I would get a mix of intelligent thinkers and medical helpers to help the worlds health. The could help make tips with each other about preventing sicknesses and harmful things that can threaten you.
-
-
I would gather some of the smartest people in th world and find a cure for the disease. Also, I would say some tips about being safe and clean during the disease.

-
i would get a bunch of smart people to come together and think of creative ideas for a solution.

All of the engineers in the city, be it electrical, civil, industrial, mechanical, etc. would be of great use during the pandemic. They would be able to build temporary clinics for all of the infected, so the uninfected would not get infected because those affected by the virus would no longer have to go to clinics in the crowded areas of town.

-
To cure the pandemic flu I will try to gather anyone who is willing to help people in need.We will ask people to support the people that are sick, and gather scientist also.
-
-
I will get my best thinkers on the job and scientists to cure the pandemic just enough so the world wouldn't be overpopulated anymore but i will tell them to fix it as fast as possible.
-
-
I would get nobel peace prize winners and creative thinkers to come together to think of logical solutions and to get them to communicate.

The exchange works directly for state and public workers and servants. It gives them credit in exchange for the amount of public work they contribute to the community. The more constructive they are based off a base rate the more credit they recieve.
