Event Details

Lend your hearts, hands and humanity to Haiti - the work has just begun!

CrisisCampSalem will take place Saturday, April 10, 2010 at 10am at Willamette University - join us!

CrisisCampSalem brings together community and student volunteers with a collaborative vision to support post-earthquake Haiti.  Initially launched days after the January quake, this all volunteer global effort has spread throughout the world to dozens of cities and 6 Countries. Some newer groups are utilizing the technology created by early camps for Haiti and transferring those tools for Chilian recovery.

Your Help for HAITI is Still NEEDED!

Can you research the internet, review and summarize information or enter codes/data? Can you write well or are you a web designer, programmer, coder or hacker?

Are you skilled or experienced with opensource software, wiki pages, iphone or twitter apps or RSS feeds?

Or are you like some of us that have the desire but lack the advanced technical skills?

We can use your help.

This event is FREE and open to the public. Techies and NON-Techies are Welcome.  We request that you bring a laptop (don't forget the power cord) and possibly a power strip with you - to share with others.

Be Part of this Global Initative from your own backyard.
Additional skills needed include:

  • French and Creole translation
  • Education curriculum development
  • Disaster and crisis response planning
  • Social media gurus, photographers and videographers
  • Product engineers, IP experts
  • Android, Phyton or Java Developers

Projects are built around the volunteer skills offered, so please let us know your skills and interest when regsistering.

IF you are virtually connected with advanced tech skills yet can not join us physically - please contact us for how you can contribute!

CrisisCommons.org



CrisisCommons.org Founded in March 2009 through an impromptu Tweetup at the Government 2.0 Camp, a small band of idealists and innovators gathered to discuss the idea of a creating a common community through a mash-up of citizen volunteers, crisis response organizations, international humanitarian relief agencies, non-profits and the private sector. Within minutes, the CrisisCamp concept was born to unite communities, seek common ground and cultivate innovation in the use of technology for mobility and efficiency during crisis.
