Kada se desi prirodna katastrofa, postoji samo mala mogućnost za pokretanje delotvornih napora za oporavak pre nego što svet svoje interesovanje prebaci na neko drugo mesto. Ko treba da bude glavni? Kada je iznenadni tornado zadesio njihov rodni grad, sestre Kejtrija i Morgan Onil, tada stare smo 20 i 24 godine, uzele su stvar u svoje ruke i sada podučavaju druge kako da urade istu stvar. (Snimljeno na TEDxBoston).
Caitria O'Neill - Disaster relief expert
When a freak tornado hit her Massachusetts hometown, Caitria O’Neill wasn't an expert in disaster relief recovery. But she learned quickly and is now passing her knowledge on through the website Recovers.org. Full bioMorgan O'Neill - Disaster relief expert
Pursuing her PhD in atmospheric science did not prepare Morgan O'Neill for a freak tornado hitting her hometown. With her sister, she helped coordinate a local relief effort and is teaching other towns to do the same through the website Recovers.org. Full bio

Caitria O'Neill: That was me

Kejtrija Onil: To sam ja,
00:30
in front of our house in Monson, Massachusetts last June.
4
14290
3262
prošlog juna, stojim ispred naše kuće u Monsonu, Masačusetsu.
00:33
After an EF3 tornado ripped straight through our town
5
17552
3300
Kada je tornado snage EF3 prošibao kroz naš grad
00:36
and took parts of our roof off,
6
20852
1833
skinuo delove našeg krova,
00:38
I decided to stay in Massachusetts
7
22685
2069
odlučila sam da ostanem u Masačusetsu,
00:40
instead of pursuing the master's program
8
24754
1767
umesto da nastavim školovanje.
00:42
I had moved my boxes home that afternoon for.
9
26521
2985
Tog popodneva sam preselila kutije sa stvarima
nazad u kuću.
nazad u kuću.
00:45
Morgan O'Neill: So, on June 1st we weren't disaster experts,
10
29506
2984
Morgan Onil: Dakle, prvog juna nismo bile eksperti za katastrofe,
00:48
but on June 3rd we started faking it.
11
32490
2164
ali smo trećeg juna počele da se pravimo da jesmo.
00:50
This experience changed our lives.
12
34654
2234
Ovo iskustvo nam je promenilo živote.
00:52
And now we're trying to change the experience.
13
36888
1867
Sada pokušavamo da promenimo ovo iskustvo.
00:54
CO: So tornadoes don't happen in Massachusetts.
14
38755
2374
KO: Tornado se ne dešava u Masačusetsu.
00:57
And I was cleverly standing in the front yard
15
41129
2200
A ja sam veoma inteligentno stajala ispred kuće
00:59
when one came over the hill.
16
43329
1514
kada je tornado naleteo.
01:00
After a lamppost flew by, my family and I sprinted into the basement.
17
44843
3184
Kada je bandera proletela pored nas,
cela porodica je utrčala u podrum.
cela porodica je utrčala u podrum.
01:03
Trees were thrown against the house, the windows exploded.
18
48027
3051
Drveće je padalo na kuću, a prozori su pucali.
01:06
When we finally got out the back door,
19
51078
1682
Konačno, kada smo izašli na zadnja vrata,
01:08
transformers were burning in the street.
20
52760
2384
transformatori su goreli na ulici.
01:11
MO: So I was here in Boston.
21
55144
1801
MO: U to vreme bila sam u Bostonu.
01:12
I'm a PhD student at MIT,
22
56945
2032
Ja sam na doktorskim studijama
na Univerzitetu Masačusets
na Univerzitetu Masačusets
01:14
and I happen to study atmospheric science.
23
58977
2116
i izučavam atmosferske nauke.
01:16
Actually it gets weirder.
24
61093
1834
Zapravo, ovo postaje još čudnije.
01:18
So I was in the museum of science at the time the tornado hit,
25
62927
3184
U momentu kada se tornado desio
bila sam u muzeju nauke,
bila sam u muzeju nauke,
01:22
playing with the tornado display.
26
66111
2116
igrala sam se sa izložbenom postavkom tornada.
01:24
So I missed her call.
27
68227
1900
Dakle, nisam čula kada me je zvala.
01:26
So I get the call from Caitria, I hear the news,
28
70127
2000
Kejtrija me je nazvala, čula sam vesti
01:28
and I start tracking the radar online
29
72127
1748
i počinjem da pratim radar preko interneta
01:29
to call the family back when another supercell was forming in their area.
30
73875
3341
da ih pozovem ukoliko se još jedan bude pojavio.
01:33
And I drove home late that night with batteries and ice.
31
77216
2798
Odvezla sam se kući kasno te noći,
noseći baterije i led.
noseći baterije i led.
01:35
We live across the street from an historic church
32
80014
2367
Živimo preko puta crkve koja je istorijska znamenitost
01:38
that had lost its very iconic steeple in the storm.
33
82381
2516
i koja je tada izgubila veoma znamenit zvonik.
01:40
It had become a community gathering place overnight.
34
84897
2402
Crkva je preko noći postala svratište.
01:43
The town hall and the police department had also suffered direct hits,
35
87299
2932
Gradska kuća i policijska stanica su takođe
pretrpele direktne udare,
pretrpele direktne udare,
01:46
and so people wanting to help or needing information
36
90231
3166
pa su ljudi kojima je bila potrebna informacija
ili su hteli da pomognu,
ili su hteli da pomognu,
01:49
went to the church.
37
93397
1105
odlazili u crkvu.
01:50
CO: We walked up to the church because we heard that they had hot meals,
38
94502
2643
KO: Otišle smo u crkvu jer smo čule da dele hranu,
01:53
but when we arrived we found problems.
39
97145
1967
ali kada smo stigle naišle smo na probleme.
01:55
There were a couple large, sweaty men with chainsaws
40
99112
2366
Tamo su bila dva ogromna znojava čoveka
sa motornim testerama,
sa motornim testerama,
01:57
standing in the center of the church,
41
101478
1618
stajali su nasred crkve,
01:58
but nobody knew where to send them
42
103096
1617
ali niko nije znao kuda da ih pošalje,
02:00
because no one knew the extent of the damage yet.
43
104713
1967
jer niko nije znao koliku je štetu grad pretrpeo.
02:02
And as we watched, they became frustrated and left
44
106680
2417
Vremenom su postajali frustrirani i odlazili su
02:04
to go find somebody to help on their own.
45
109097
2166
da vide kome mogu da pomognu.
02:07
MO: So we started organizing.
46
111263
1269
MO: Tako smo počele da organizujemo.
02:08
Why? It had to be done. We found Pastor Bob
47
112532
3147
Zašto? Jer je to moralo da bude urađeno.
Pronašle smo pastora Boba
Pronašle smo pastora Boba
02:11
and offered to give the response some infrastructure.
48
115681
2084
i predložile mu svoju pomoć.
02:13
And then armed with just two laptops and one AirCard,
49
117765
3300
Naoružane sa samo dva laptopa i
jednom telefonskom karticom
jednom telefonskom karticom
02:16
we built a recovery machine.
50
121065
6013
pokrenule smo mašinu oporavka.
02:22
(Applause)
51
127078
1028
(Aplauz)
02:24
CO: That was a tornado,
52
128106
1210
KO: To je bio tornado,
02:25
and everyone's heading to the church to drop things off and volunteer.
53
129316
2999
svi idu u crkvu da donesu stvari i volontiraju.
02:28
MO: Everyone's donating clothing.
54
132315
1717
MO: Svi doniraju odeću.
02:29
We should really inventory the donations that are piling up here.
55
134032
2334
Treba da napravimo popis svih donacija
koje se ovde skupljaju.
koje se ovde skupljaju.
02:32
CO: Yeah, and we need a hotline. Can you make a Google Voice number?
56

2782
KO: Potreban nam je SOS telefon.
Možeš li da napraviš Google Voice broj?
Možeš li da napraviš Google Voice broj?
02:35
MO: Yeah, sure. And we need to tell people what not to bring.
57
139148
2188
MO: Da, naravno. Moramo reći ljudima šta da ne donose.
02:37
I'll make a Facebook account. Can you print flyers for the neighborhoods?
58
141336
3584
Napraviću nalog na Fejsbuku.
Da li bi mogla da odštampaš nekoliko flajera za susede?
Da li bi mogla da odštampaš nekoliko flajera za susede?
02:40
CO: Yeah, but we don't even know what houses are accepting help at this point.
59
144920
2516
KO: Da, ali još uvek ne znamo koje kuće primaju pomoć.
02:43
We need to canvas and send out volunteers.
60
147436
1851
Moramo to da istražimo i pošaljemo volontere.
02:45
MO: We need to tell people what not to bring.
61
149287

MO: Zaista moramo reći ljudima šta da ne donose.
02:46
Hey, there's a news truck. I'll tell them.
62
150989
1997
Vidi, tamo je ekipa sa televizije. Reći ću njima.
02:48
CO: You got my number off the news?
63
152986
2106
KO: Televizijska stanica vam je dala moj broj?
02:50
We don't need any more freezers.
64
155092
2135
Ne treba nam više frižidera.
02:53
MO: The insurance won't cover it? You need a crew to tar your roof? CO: Six packs of juice boxes arriving in one hour?
65
157227
3139
MO: Ovo osiguranje ne pokriva? Treba vam ekipa da

Neka mi neko da još papirića.
02:58
(Laughter)

02:58
CO: And then the rest of the community figured out
68
163035

03:01
that we had answers.

MO: Mogu da doniram tri kuvala,

but someone needs to come pick them up.
71

CO: You sent me to that place on Washington Street yesterday,
77
182858
2235
KO: Juče si me poslala na ono mesto u ulici Vašington
03:20
and now I'm covered in poison ivy.
78
185093
1832
i sada sam potpuno prekrivena otrovnim bršljanom.
03:22
So this is what filled our days.
79
186925
3007
Ovako su bili ispunjeni naši dani.
03:25
We had to learn how to answer questions quickly
80
189932
2347
Morale smo da naučimo da brzo odgovorimo na pitanja
03:28
and to solve problems in about a minute or less,
81
192279
2268
i da rešimo probleme u roku od minute ili manje,
03:30
because otherwise something more urgent would come up,
82
194547
2351
jer bi ubrzo nešto mnogo hitnije došlo na red
03:32
and it just wouldn't get done.
83
196898
1349
i to ne bi bilo urađeno.
03:34
MO: We didn't get our authority from the board of selectmen
84
198247
2383
MO: Niko nam nije bio nadređeni iz izabranog odbora
03:36
or the emergency management director or the United Way.
85
200630
3201
ni direktor službe za rešavanje kriznih situacija
ni druge organizacije.
ni druge organizacije.
03:39
We just started answering questions and making decisions
86
203831
2899
Jednostavno, same smo počele
da rešavamo i donosimo odluke
da rešavamo i donosimo odluke
03:42
because someone, anyone, had to.
87
206730
2500
jer neko je morao.
03:45
And why not me? I'm a campaign organizer.
88
209230
2416
Zašto ne bih ja? Ja organizujem kampanje.
03:47
I'm good at Facebook.
89
211646
1083
Dobro se snalazim na Fejsbuku.
03:48
And there's two of me.
90
212729
1151
I imam sestru.
03:49
(Laughter)
91
213880
1200
(Smeh)
03:50
CO: The point is, if there's a flood or a fire or a hurricane,
92
215080
4217
KO: Poenta je da, ako se desi poplava, požar ili uragan,
03:55
you, or somebody like you,
93
219297
1599
vi ili neko kao vi,
03:56
are going to step up and start organizing things.
94
220896
2033
mora da istupi i da počne sa organizovanjem stvari.
03:58
The other point is that it is hard.
95
222929
2669
Drugo, to je veoma teško.
04:01
MO: Lying on the ground after another 17-hour day,
96
225598
3131
MO: Ležeći na zemlji posle 17 sati rada,
04:04
Caitria and I would empty our pockets
97
228729
1583
Kejtrija i ja bismo ispraznile džepove
04:06
and try to place dozens of scraps of paper into context --
98
230312
3084
i pokušale da sklopimo rečenice sa silnih papirića --
04:09
all bits of information that had to be remembered and matched
99
233396
2833
sve deliće informacija koje treba da zapamtimo i povežemo
04:12
in order to help someone.
100
236229
1251
da bismo nekome pomogle.
04:13
After another day and a shower at the shelter,
101
237480
1866
Kada smo proživele još jedan težak dan u skloništu
04:15
we realized it shouldn't be this hard.
102
239346
2451
shvatile smo da ovo ne bi smelo da bude ovako teško.
04:17
CO: In a country like ours
103
241797
1215
KO: U zemlji kao što je naša
04:18
where we breathe wi-fi,
104
243012
1600
gde udišemo WiFi,
04:20
leveraging technology for a faster recovery should be a no-brainer.
105
244612
3721
uticaj tehnologije radi bržeg oporavka
treba da bude instinktivan.
treba da bude instinktivan.
04:24
Systems like the ones that we were creating on the fly
106
248333
2531
Sistemi koje smo stvarale u hodu
04:26
could exist ahead of time.
107
250864
1337
treba da postoje unapred.
04:28
And if some community member
108
252201
1652
Ako bi jedan član zajednice
04:29
is in this organizing position in every area after every disaster,
109
253853
4214
koju je pogodila neka nesreća,
bio u prilici da organizuje sve,
bio u prilici da organizuje sve,
04:33
these tools should exist.
110
258067
2117
ovakvi alati treba da postoje.
04:36
MO: So we decided to build them --
111
260184
2516
MO: Nas dve smo odlučile da stvorimo te alate --
04:38
a recovery in a box,
112
262700
1266
oporavak iz kutije,
04:39
something that could be deployed after every disaster
113
263966
2301
nešto što bi bilo koji lokalni organizator
04:42
by any local organizer.
114
266267
1625
mogao da koristi odmah posle katastrofe.
04:43
CO: I decided to stay in the country,
115
267892
1657
KO: Odlučila sam da ostanem u državi,
04:45
give up the master's in Moscow
116
269549
1701
odustanem od master školovanja u Moskvi
04:47
and to work full-time to make this happen.
117
271250
2267
i sve vreme radim na tome da se to ostvari.
04:49
In the course of the past year,
118
273517
1500
U toku protekle godine,
04:50
we've become experts in the field of community-powered disaster recovery.
119
275017
3483
postale smo eksperti za oporavak lokalne zajednice
posle nepogoda.
posle nepogoda.
04:54
And there are three main problems that we've observed
120
278500
2217
Postoje tri glavna problema koje smo uočile
04:56
with the way things work currently.
121
280717
2891
u načinu na koji se stvari trenutno odvijaju.
04:59
MO: The tools. Large aid organizations are exceptional
122
283608
2700
MO: Alati. Velike humanitarne organizacije su odlične
05:02
at bringing massive resources to bear after a disaster,
123
286308
2775
u donošenju velikog broja priloga posle katastrofe,
05:04
but they often fulfill very specific missions
124
289083
2651
ali često ispune jednu određenu misiju
05:07
and then they leave.
125
291734
1250
i potom odlaze.
05:08
This leaves local residents to deal
126
292984
2000
Tako, lokalno stanovništo ostaje
05:10
with the thousands of spontaneous volunteers, thousands of donations,
127
294984
3503
sa hiljadama volontera i donacija,
05:14
and all with no training and no tools.
128
298487
1805
bez ikakve obuke i alata.

Disaster relief is essentially a backwards political campaign.
133
310357

Pomoć u katastrofi je u stvari politička kampanja unazad.
05:29
In a political campaign,
134
313841

U političkim kampanjama
05:30
you start with no interest and no capacity to turn that into action.
135
315073

počinjete bez interesa i kapaciteta
da biste to pretvorili u akciju.

You build both gradually

Obe ove komponente se grade postepeno

until a moment of peak mobilization at the time of the election.
137
320109

do momenta potpune mobilizacije u vreme izbora.
05:38
In a disaster, however, you start with all of the interest
138
323060
2665
Kod katastrofe, počinješ sa potpunim interesom
05:41
and none of the capacity.
139
325725
1683
i bez kapaciteta.
05:43
And you've only got about seven days to capture
140

Imate samo sedam dana da uhvatite

Then some sporting event happens,

A onda se organizuje neko sportsko dešavanje,
05:51
and you've got only the resources that you've collected thus far

There's a gap here.

Ovde postoji razlika.

Affected households have to wait for the insurance adjuster to visit

MO: Data.

Data is inherently unsexy,

Podaci nikada nisu privlačni,

Now that expense can be huge,

Ovi troškovi mogu da budu ogromni,
06:33
but if the town can mobilize X amount of volunteers for Y hours,

06:37
the dollar value of that labor used

goes toward the town's contribution.

ABOUT THE SPEAKERS
Caitria O'Neill - Disaster relief expertWhen a freak tornado hit her Massachusetts hometown, Caitria O’Neill wasn't an expert in disaster relief recovery. But she learned quickly and is now passing her knowledge on through the website Recovers.org.
Why you should listen
Caitria O'Neill, then 20, had just graduated from college in the summer of 2011, and was preparing to begin a Master's program in Moscow. But on June 1, an EF3 tornado hit her hometown of Monson, Massachusetts. Caitria, along with her older sister Morgan, quickly took action. Working as lead volunteer coordinators, the two created a flexible framework for an "unofficial" community relief effort. By leveraging the short term spike in national interest, along with social media and database organization, Monson recorded more volunteer hours than any surrounding town -- hundreds more hours, in fact.
After this intense experience, Catria and Morgan have translated their system into organizing software for local coordinators, through the website Recovers.org. This “recovery in a box” can be rolled out in minutes, helping local relief organizers turn interest into action. Caitria serves as Chief Executive Officer.

Morgan O'Neill - Disaster relief expert
Pursuing her PhD in atmospheric science did not prepare Morgan O'Neill for a freak tornado hitting her hometown. With her sister, she helped coordinate a local relief effort and is teaching other towns to do the same through the website Recovers.org.
Why you should listen
Morgan O'Neill was in MIT's Museum of Science, playing with the tornado display, when she got a call informing her that a tornado was ripping through her hometown of Monson, Massachusetts. After driving home, Morgan -- alongside sister Caitria -- took the reins of the relief effort. Working as lead volunteer coordinators, the two created a flexible framework for an "unofficial" community response. By leveraging the short term spike in national interest, along with social media and database organization, Monson recorded more volunteer hours than any surrounding town -- hundreds more hours, in fact.
After this intense experience, Catria and Morgan have translated their system into organizing software for local coordinators, through the website Recovers.org.
