Surge Deployment

510 often supports emergency operations by deploying full-time personnel either directly into areas affected by the disaster or remotely. We cover roles centered on information management, applied to different sectors: cash, relief, shelter, WASH, needs assessment, etc.

As of June 2023, 510 covered 24 deployments in emergencies over the last 4 years, of which 8 over the last year alone. Mostly these are in-country positions, but we also support remotely, if needed.

The experiences of our team members who participate in surge deployments are of crucial importance to ensure that 510’s products and services are fit for emergencies, since they help us understand the constraints, perspective and objectives of operations.
