Listen and learn how to understand, manage and use information on incidents, how this can improve organisations’ security risk management and access to crisis-affected populations.
Insecurity Insight has developed and contributed to a range of podcasts and mobile guides (designed for mobile devices, i.e. smartphones and tablets) to help organisations improve security risk management and understand the data which Insecurity Insight collects and analyses.
Further information including links to the mobile guides and podcasts are accessible below on this page.
Insecurity Insight Director Christina Wille joined the Explosive Weapons Monitor Podcast to discuss the findings of a report – Two Years of Global Harm to Civilians from the Use of Explosive Weapons (2021-2022) – from the Explosive Weapons Monitor released in 2023. Insecurity Insight contributed data which informed the findings of the report.
Insecurity Insight produced the Humanitarian Incidents podcast series in collaboration with the European Interagency Security Forum (now known as the Global Interagency Security Forum) and RedR as part of an ECHO funded project on security incident information management (SIIM). In a series of conversations with experts from Geneva to South Sudan, they discuss how to understand, manage and use information on security incidents and how this can improve organisations’ risk management and access to crisis-affected populations.
Insecurity Insight Director Christina Wille spoke to The International Security Risk Podcast about how aid agencies can reduce the impact of security incidents on their operations, and meet their duty of care obligations to their staff and volunteers. Listen here.
Our mobile guides have been designed in collaboration with the Cornerstone OnDemand Foundation and are available on DisasterReady! They are designed specifically for mobile devices (smartphones and tablets) to support learners on the go and come with a downloadable PDF included with the course. The mobile guides are by topic and cover security risk management for staff, for organisations and for emergency healthcare in insecure settings (see below).
