A community cannot live for long without power and water. Data now belongs on the same list. Banks, phone networks and government records run on it. People use it to pay, to call for help and to prove who they are. Data is the new lifeline. Daily life can no longer operate without it, and people hand over their data to pay digitally and to deal with government. They have little choice.
Communities plan for the loss of power and water, and the rules say who must restore them. So who answers when a community's data is lost or stolen? And who bears the cost? In this edition of the Crisis Lab Briefing we examine that question, from the services that run on data to the person whose data it is.
