Event Details

We will be holding the a Crisis Camp in Santa Barbara on Monday July 12 from 6pm-9pm at the Red Cross downtown. Crisis Camps bring together volunteers to collaborate on technology projects which aim to assist in relief and recovery efforts by providing data, information, maps and technical assistance to NGOs, relief agencies and the public. 

Please bring a laptop (if you have one). Some food and drink will be provided, but we will probably ask for everyone to chip in a few dollars for pizza if that's what everyone wants to do.

We will be working on two main projects during this camp:

  • Continuing to fill out OpenStreetMap for Santa Barbara County
  • Starting work on a crisis reporter mobile app for Santa Barbara County

Also, we'll be discussing past experiences of other Crisis Camps as well as how to work with Santa Barbara County emergency response organizations during the camp. Also, we are open to discussing and figuring out ways to assist with the oil spill crisis in the Gulf of Mexico.

Please contact Chad Catacchio (@chadcat) at crisiscampsb@gmail.com or visit our chapter page on CrisisCommons for more information.

This event is free and open to the public. You don't have to be technical to volunteer time.  Also, you may show up at anytime during the day for as long as you wish - although obviously we will get the most done with the most people hours!
 
About CrisisCamp

CrisisCamp will bring together domain experts, developers, and first responders around improving technology and practice for humanitarian crisis management and disaster relief.
Each and every day, people across the world can find themselves in crisis. Whether it be for a day, a month or an area of social distress, we all have a common need to connect with loved ones, access information and offer assistance to others.

CrisisCamps are hosted in a barcamp style where great minds come together to share their knowledge and expertise for social good.
