Mr. Prutsalis具備超過15年重大國際和國內的自然和人為災害人道主義救援行動和應急管理經驗，曾領導和管理多個救災計畫，成就深獲肯定。 他曾多次響應人道主義援助任務，參與中美洲颶風米奇颶風、美國麗塔颶風、厄瓜多爾火山爆發，也曾協助救援發生在巴基斯坦、土耳其、台灣和印度地震，以及2004年發生在印度、斯里蘭卡和印尼的南亞海嘯。 另外，Mark也參與了在柬埔寨、波斯尼亞和黑塞哥維那、中非、蘇丹南部和東帝汶發生的人為災害和衝突人道救援工作。 2004年南亞海嘯，Mark率領人道主義救援團隊協助斯里蘭卡IBM危機反應小組進行救災工作，並與斯里蘭卡軟體基金會合作，在短短幾週內創建了第一個版本的Sahana系統。

過去的幾年裡，Mark一直協助美國紐約市規劃及執行緊急救災和準備計畫，包括緊急管理辦公室、資訊科技和通信部以及衛生和心理衛生部的相關工作。 他推動紐約市的「沿岸風暴防災計畫(Coastal Storm Plan)」 使用Sahana管理救災人員的任務和受災者登記，並負責在2005年巴基斯坦地震、2006年菲律賓土石流、2006年印度尼西亞地震、2007年秘魯地震、2007年孟加拉旋風及2010年海地地震運用Sahana進行救災重建的部署和在地化工作。

Mark has over 15 years of operational humanitarian relief and emergency management experience following major international and domestic natural and man-made disasters. He has a proven record of implementing complex operational projects in diverse and austere post-disaster environments through leadership, planning and appropriate use of tools and technology. He has also led and managed several planning, preparedness and mitigation projects, including tabletop and functional exercise design for governments, military, international organizations, and the public and private sector. Mark is a skilled trainer and has delivered both emergency management and operational end-user training in several subject areas, including emergency communications, security, continuity of operations, and humanitarian information system applications.

Mark has led humanitarian assistance missions in response to diverse natural disasters such as Hurricanes Mitch in Central America and Katrina/Rita in the United States, volcanic eruptions in Ecuador, earthquakes in Pakistan, Turkey, Taiwan and India, and the 2004 Asian tsunami in India, Sri Lanka and Indonesia. Mark has also responded to man-made disasters and conflicts in Cambodia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Central Africa, Southern Sudan and East Timor. For the past several years, he has been managing several emergency planning and preparedness projects for the City of New York, including for their Office of Emergency Management, Department of Information Technology and Telecommunications, and the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. He has specific sectoral expertise in needs assessment, logistics management, humanitarian information systems, staff and site security, IT & telecommunications, and program administration.

Mark led the humanitarian mission to Sri Lanka for the IBM Crisis Response Team following the 2004 Asian tsunami and, in partnership with the Lanka Software Foundation, helped design the requirements and planned for the deployment of the first version of Sahana within weeks of the tsunami. Mark also managed the use of Sahana by the City of New York to manage staffing assignments and victim registration at hurricane shelters as part of the City’s Coastal Storm Plan, and supported the deployment and customization of Sahana following disasters in Pakistan (2005 earthquake), the Philippines (2006 mudslides), Indonesia (2006 earthquake), Peru (2007 earthquake), and Bangladesh (2007 cyclone).
