Crisis Collaboration and Innovation in Haiti

on YouTube ↗09m

" summary

After the January 12 Haiti quake an ad hoc information system centered on project 4636 and SMS channels processes thousands of texts: 43 international USAR teams, ~1,600 rescuers, and at least 122 documented live rescues (U.S. teams find 42). InSTEDD boots on the ground at 60 hours enable translation, geolocation and dispatch but face high carrier costs, short code bureaucracy, map–database–medical interoperability gaps, and unresolved transparency versus privacy tradeoffs; cloud storage and exit strategies are recommended.
