Using GeoChat during an Avian Influenza Simulation Exercise, Stung Treng Province, Cambodia

On October 13-15, 2008, over 65 people gathered from around Cambodia to participate in a Cambodian CDC-led Avian Influenza (AI) pandemic training and simulation exercise in the Stung Treng province, Cambodia. Cambodia CDC provided the public health training and InSTEDD introduced and tested GeoChat for the first time demonstrating the utility of mobile phones to help with cross-disciplinary and cross-regional pandemic preparedness and response.
