  • Airbnb -- the home rental site -- was one of those leaders. It waived its normal fees for hosts -- those whose homes weren't physically affected and were willing to open their homes to those in need -- and guests -- those who were left without electricity, heat, running water, or even homes.

      The Airbnb home rental site allowed a simple method of relief for those whose homes were affected by the superstorm. 
  • GILT, the popular flash sales site, launched "Donate Today, Save Tomorrow" -- which "enables people from all over the world to make a donation to one of six established charity relief efforts.
  • Crowdtilt, a crowd-funding site, also waived any fees associated with raising money to help those affected by Sandy

  • The New York Tech Meetup (NYTM), which has a membership of more than 28,000 techies, also did their part by building a database of volunteers willing to donate their technical skills to small businesses, non-profits, schools and governmental organizations. One of the projects NYTM is working on is called NeedMapper -- a site that connects those affected by Sandy with volunteers who can help.
  • SandyBaggers, a group founded by local tech entrepreneurs, organized hundreds of volunteers to provide relief to Sandy victims in some of the hardest hit areas

      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.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • 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.
