when the level of access to mobile and online communication enabled a kind of collective intelligence to emerge.”
- Disaster Relief 2.0, the United Nations
“Haiti showed everyone that it is going to be crucial to adopt and use these technologies to make humanitarian
work better, faster and more efficient.”- Adele Waugaman, senior director of technology for United

Stand-By Task Force (SBTF)“We are the people who map for three hours at night
instead of watching TV. We are the people who wake up early before work, log into Skype and add a few reports to the map. We are the people who may drop everything to map for four days. We are communications and friends.”
- Heather Leson, SBTF volunteer

Egyptian Revolution
u-shahid.org
“The use of social media and Facebook in particular is increasingly enabling the youth to engage in a political scene that normally opts for the
physical elimination of the opposition. Blogs and Facebook groups are clearly taking the place made empty by the lack of a real political debate in Egypt, and are more increasingly emerging as an alternative political scene
where a discussion on democracy and human rights is still possible.”- Development and Institutionalization Support Center (DISC)

Egypt Election Map

“To monitor the elections by allowing people to send SMS, Twitter messages, Facebook comments, voice mail, e-mail and web-submission to the U-Shahid (Anta Shahid –
“You witness” in Arabic) and by creating a combined system of bounded and
unbounded crowdsourcing.”- Development and Institutionalization

Civil Resistance Map
u-shahid.org/cr
“They say that history is written by the victors. But now, before the
victors win, there is a fresh chance to scream out, with a text message that will not vanish. What we would know about what passed between
Turks and Armenians, between Germans and Jews — and indeed would it have happened at all — if each of them had had a chance to
declare and be heard saying: ʻI was here, and this is what
happened to me?ʼ”- Anand Giridharadas, New York Times

Quote“We are undergoing a major technology paradigm shift.
Citizens that were once only passive recipients of information, are now contributors to the story.
In the case of crisis mapping, it's the people on the ground that best know the local situation.
Enabling a two-way conversation between affected communities and support groups can allow a faster,
more effective response.
The key point is that affected groups have a voice, we only need to listen.”
-Dale Zak, Ushahidi mobile developer
