      The use of public radio during the superstorm allowed NY residents to be informed of all happening during the chaos.
  • Micah Sifry, who lives in New York. On the website TechPresident, he wrote about how New York public radio station WNYC initiated a crowdsourcing project to keep listeners informed in the hours, days and now weeks since the storm hit the city.
  • WNYC was also quick to reach out to the public and encourage people to submit stories of what was happening in their surrounding communities -- in real time.

  • In Boston, CrisisCommons organized the Sandy CrisisCamp — a series of hackathons at MIT and around the world that brought together volunteers who could contribute to Sandy relief with communication technologies.
  • the Sandy Coworking crowdmap. A #NYResponds initiative, the map lists spaces where people can work, recharge and reconnect.
  • ScribbleLive -- which curates and aggregates from social networks -- to keep citizens informed of what was happening.
  • As the recovery process continues, it’s worth noting that technology is transforming the way we react and respond towards natural disaster. Take an example of Instagram. The tool’s CEO was quoted as saying there were “...10 pictures per second being posted with the hashtag #sandy...” It’s no wonder the 80 million user mobile app was a go-to tool during Sandy. For some, this may have been the first and only way they learnt about the disaster.

  • Instagram has turned my iPhone into a window into all things Sandy with live views of flooding roads, to dangling cranes and drinking friends. It both captures the events unfolding (and unraveling) outside and also gives me a peak into how people are riding out the storm inside.
  • Instagram captures the storm entirely.
  • The storm has yet make landfall, but already there have are 300,026 photos shared on the mobile site under #sandy; 183,003 under #hurricanesandy, 27,564 photos shared tagged #frankenstorm and  1,467 marked with #huricanesandy
