Effective two-way dialogue with survivors of such a disaster is as critical as the delivery of aid itself. Not having systems in place to receive and communicate important, often life-saving messages, can be detrimental to relief efforts. In the absence of good two-way communication, disaster-affected communities may become disempowered and humanitarian actors miss out on a valuable perspective that can improve the way they deliver services.
