About the Effort

CrisisCommons, along with our friends in the greater technology volunteer community are able to support requests made by crisis response agencies in support response and recovery efforts of the Hurricane Irene.

This page is a collection of technology volunteer efforts and data resources. If you are a crisis response organization or agency and would like to make a request to CrisisCommons to be shared across the communities contribute your request here. This is an all volunteer effort if you want to sign up to help click here.
