Missing elements or themes in Worldwide Questionnaire

  • How about a Global Stability Risk Outlook (think of the CAPE concept in meteorology)
    • CAPE stands for Convective Available Potential Energy and is the amount of fuel available to a developing thunderstorm. More specifically, it describes the instability of the atmosphere and provides an approximation of updraft strength within a thunderstorm. So CAPE is used by weather officials to understand what the potential might be for thunderstorms and how powerful those storms might become if they do materialize.
  • How about, also, a Global Risk Alert Level?
  • Sanitation, notably access to public WC
    • The question: "Where I live, public toilets are easy to find." - Likert
  • Airport security
    • The question: "In my country, airport security is strict and effective." - Likert
  • Sufficient local or national prep for disasters (both natural and caused)
    • The question: "My country has good disaster response systems in place." - Likert

To do on the site

  • Revisit all the geo zone references in the questions
  • Build Views pages
    • Full view - DONE (needs refining)
    • Select fields for Limited view
  • WPML install and test
  • French translation
  • Video interview with Dan re: why the Census?
  • Produce Elevator Pitch Video

Donor ideas

Caveat: RSI or new non-profit?

  • Foundations
  • ¿¿ World Bank ??
  • ¿¿ Another regional development bank ??
  • Insurance company or association? The list is here.

A funding thought: maybe we need to get (a) the advisory board, (b) a first major outreach multiplier and (c) a first avalanche of respondents??
