One of the amazing results of digitally-enabled networks is the ability to share information that is vital to the entire community. While you might only have one small piece of the full story, when your information is crowdsourced together with the information of hundreds of others, you create real insight and understanding.
This CrowdRescue Puerto Rico Infrastructure Map is an example of that. People from around the island have submitted road closures, mud slides, utilities outages, and so much more. By allowing the community to report on the status and making it available, we allow hundreds more people to be part of the solutions that must be marshaled to support the island in this crisis.
The amazing thing about efforts like this is that it empowers those serving and those receiving service in equal portions. Not everyone will be rescuing people, clearing roads or running new power lines, but many more will and many more will benefit.
Are there crowdsourcing efforts that you should be joining as you seek to be a generous mind?
