Helping Flood Relief Operations in Bihar
A 2 member team from OSSRC at CDAC mumbai went to Patna for 2 weeks (11-24 September 2008) in order to support a humanitarian effort, to help flood relief in Bihar. This particular effort, which was being led by IBM India, required them to use some specialised Software(s) to assist Government of Bihar, with certain aspects of flood management (e.g. Shelter Management, Disaster Victim Registry etc.). The OSSRC team was entrusted with the task of installation & customization (in part) of a popular FOSS disaster management software named Sahana ( http://www.Sahana.lk/ ).
