Adaptive Response Messaging (ARM)
Poet Nation Media along with their partners have created a methodology to respond to needs of stakeholders in emergency situations called Adaptive Response Messaging. This method can also be used in for development and behavior change.
Typically, during a response to an emergency, many different actors – such as governments, NGOs, send out uncoordinated messaging. In addition myths can develop born out of fear, misinformation. These issues drastically affect the action taken by populations in need and spread confusing and contradictory messages. Vulnerable populations, such as children, the disabled, and the elderly, are particularly affected during emergencies. By focusing on targeted messaging aimed at them and their caregivers, better care and resources can become available.
