for  3  main  reasons…  

We  support  the  idea  of  Hackathons  as  a  catalyst  for  innovaOon.    

We  support  the  principles  of  Open  Data  for  making  government  data  more  accessible  to  ciOzens.  

We  support  the  idea  of  Hackathons  to  get  technologists  to  develop  soluOons  for  disaster  preparedness  and  relief  efforts.
