Current GIS trends in ICRC :
• Geoportal is the mothership, the ‘One stop shop’
• Need for dedicated simple thematic web portals
• Less ‘map-centric’ approach
• Need for drill down capacity (data exploration)
• Need to mix of Text, Charts and Maps
• Mobility and Mobile data
• Paper maps will remain the best for the field emergencies
