EA resilience to catastrophes & ALLFED’s case study

First, this strikes me as a great example of the value of the EA community. Most individuals / orgs, like me, will not find the bandwidth to make their own resources and strategies for better response to uncommon scenarios from scratch. Thank you for these.

Second, I think the decision making tool for triage / resource allocation in particular might be really valuable to share. I'm curious if other readers of this comment would agree. I suspect many individuals and orgs in EA struggled to reprioritize around covid, for example. So, sharing may improve over... (read more)

Hi Yuli,  I appreciate the time you have taken to write this comment.  Ref 1: For sure, it takes thought, design, testing, and a bit of relevant background to produce tools from scratch… It was the Covid-19 pandemic that galvanised us to crack on with it. So, if someone wants to adapt them for their org, that is obviously more efficient and they would be very welcome.  Ref 2: I was indeed considering linking to and/or sharing more info on our triage and decision-making aid when writing this post. The reason I decided against it on this occasion is, quite simply, it is not yet in a sharable state (we are still calibrating how it calculates scores and exact weighting). Ref 3: No idea if there is an EA temp agency - maybe somebody else here can advise.  Ref. your closing comments, great, and thank you for your support of the EA resilience centre idea, and of a rapid response task force. And yes, ignore your team’s needs at your peril. We are all humans, and if your response team - or indeed any team - crumbles, it’s a downward spiral from there. So hurrah to team well-being (as you can see from the pics, ours includes ALLFED sporks and tardigrades :).  Look forward to connecting with you further.

Thanks for the article!

It seems right to me that strategic coordination and better communication among various EA nodes is essential. I'd love to see more thinking and action on the "improving movement coordination" like you are demonstrating, so thank you. We could host some collaborative events with complexity folks at EA Toronto maybe? Though I imagine knowing something about what higher complexity strategic thinking is currently being done is a wiser first step. What does Systems Change in EA (on FB) think? The CEA def has some thoughts: https://www.ce... (read more)
