CrisisCamp is being organized by a varied group. We need your help! Please join the Google Group, introduce yourself, and volunteer.

Help

We're looking for some initial assistance in organizing CrisisCamp. Things we need:

  • A venue - hold ~300+ people, wifi, closed and open spaces, easily accessible
  • A logo - use the BarCamp style, with the goals of CrisisCamp to create our logo
  • Sponsorship - we'll put out a more specific call, but sponsors will help make CrisisCamp a reality 

 

Potential Attendees

  1. Justin Grimes, Center for Information Policy and eGovernment, University of Maryland
  2. Anthony Townsend, Institute for the Future. See report I wrote on "Telecommunications Infrastructure in Disasters" for DHS a few years back (PDF)
