From: Enhancing community preparedness: an inventory and analysis of disaster citizen science activities
Element | Description and categorizations |
|---|---|
Project name and description | Formal name of project and description of objectives |
Lead project entities and entity type | Lead organization(s) or individuals for the project: academic/research; government; advocacy or issues-based; community-based services; volunteer or relief services; professional association; health services; technology sector; collaborative entity; individuals/loose affiliations |
Partners and other involved entities | Listing of partners or entities cited by the project (if available) |
Geographic setting | U.S., international, or global focus. If U.S., region specified (northeast, southeast, midwest, west, southwest, national (all)). If international, continent specified (North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, Antarctica) |
Project start and end years | Official year of project launch and end year (or ongoing) |
Disaster type | Disaster(s): accidental explosion/fire; harmful algal bloom/cyanobacteria; drought; earthquake; flood; chemical contamination; hurricane/typhoon/cyclone; disease outbreak; technological failure; mud/landslide; nuclear radiation; severe storm/weather; terrorism; tornado; tsunami; volcanic activity; wildfire; all hazards; other |
Disaster phase | Preparedness (pre-disaster, prevention and preparation activities dominate); response (during or in the immediate aftermath of the disaster, crisis activities dominate); recovery (post-disaster, rebuilding activities dominate); all phases |
Citizen science types | Citizen science type based on the level of volunteer involvement:a ○ Contributory. Volunteers involved mainly in data collection or reporting for projects led by professional scientists. ○ Collaborative or co-created. Volunteer and professional scientists working together on many aspects of the research for projects led by either group. ○ Collegial. Volunteers leading all aspects of the research with little participation by professional scientists. |
Citizen scientist participant roles | Roles: (1) data collectors or reporters; (2) data interpreters and/or analyzers; and/or (3) problem definition and/or study design |
Type of technologies used | Technologies used by volunteers: internet-connected device; communication device (e.g., phone, text, fax, radio); online forms/survey tools; crowdsourcing reporting applications (allows users to report or submit information); crowdsourcing analytical applications (allows users to engage in analytical tasks); mapping platforms/technologies; camera/video; sampling equipment/monitors/sensors; do-it-yourself sampling equipment; analytical software or tools; none; other; unknown |
