Hurricane Katrina: Innovative Information and Communications Responses
Event details
Co-hosted by HumaniNet, Aspiration, and Innovation Funders Network
The devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina has brought an outpouring of support from concerned individuals and organizations across the country and around the world.
In addition to efforts to supply food, water, and security, technology volunteers and organizations have worked to re-establish communications, connect victims and their loved ones, and match the displaced with volunteered housing. Some efforts were led by organizations well known for disaster relief, while other projects were ad hoc efforts organized by volunteers who saw a need and moved quickly to fill it. This seminar will feature presentations by those behind some of the most innovative efforts.
