Abstract
Humanitarian action organizations alleviate human suffering and prevent death. Understanding relief workers as information users and how they use (or choose not to use) information as part of a system could pay enormous dividends in human suffering reduced and lives saved. Understanding the lived experience of users “on the ground” avoids perilous mistakes, especially in humanitarian action where end users are of such utter importance in literally saving lives.
