Multi-Dimensional Risk Mitigation Information Management Centre for Mosul Humanitarian Response iMMAP proposes to set up a comprehensive and multi-dimensional Risk Mitigation Information Management (RMIM) unit dedicated to Mosul humanitarian response during this critical emergency relief period in Iraq. The unit will rapidly assess the level of explosive contamination and security situation to set up informed safety, security and risk management systems in new contexts and rapid onset emergency response situations to Humanitarian Actors (HA) involved in the Mosul in the Mosul response.

The RMIM unit will be established in Erbil, managed directly by iMMAP and coordinated closely with the protection cluster and the wider humanitarian community. The support provided via the RMIM unit will come in the following set up:

1. Timely Mobile Data Collection of current explosive contamination through front line partners: 
iMMAP will design a data collection form and its respective mobile application to collect real time explosive contamination data through selected front line humanitarian actors, community leaders and selected government officials. The application will be provided and installed free of charge to the selected users who will send data remotely  to iMMAP to store, verify, classify, analyze and disseminate IM products to the humanitarian responders of the Mosul operation. Data collectors will be trained by iMMAP and prepared for the reporting. 

2. iMMAP’s security incident tracking and mapping with focus on Mosul humanitarian response:
iMMAP have a dedicated unit that gathers daily reported incidents from online media for the whole of Iraq (since 2006). The RMIM team will be zooming into Mosul operation to ensure optimum detail. 
The events are cross-referenced for validity, geo-located and entered into a database. These incidents are then analyzed and disseminated in the form of IM products and maps. Reported incidents include all types such as, but not limited to, conflict, clashes and explosive related incidents as well as corresponding casualty figures. 

3. Mine Action Information Management: 
iMMAP provides mine action information management to mine action authorities in Erbil and Baghdad and the humanitarian mine action actors (HMA) helping them to maintain a clear common operating picture. iMMAP will be providing layered IM products to HMA to identify areas with the greatest need, in order to plan, prioritize tasks and manage ERW mitigation activities of the Mosul humanitarian operations. 

4. Desktop survey of areas under the current control of ISIL:
For areas that are not surveyed yet including hard-to-reach areas as well as areas currently under the control of ISIL, a comprehensive desktop survey will be carried out to allow the humanitarian community plan their aid delivery once the areas are retaken form ISIL.  That survey will provide a better picture about suspected hazard contamination and the scope and scale of security and safety of the areas. Several data-sets will be utilized for the desktop survey, analysed and integrated to produce IM products exhibiting the level of suspected contamination, security incident and types, affected communities and populations. 

The above layers of data sets will be customized and integrated to produce IM products that enhance the risk mitigation measures of the humanitarian actors and their response impact through timely and multidimensional dissemination of security and explosive contamination IM both on continuous and ad-hoc basis according to specific cluster needs. 

Additionally, iMMAP will also be supporting the IM of the protection cluster members to develop efficient mobile data collection and to integrate and layer their specific  data sets with the above mentioned data to produce informative IM products that informs better situational understanding and subsequently a more effective and efficient response.
