Example Haiti earthquake 2010: Haitian Diaspora joined the cause after hearing about the need for volunteers via Facebook. Engaging people who know the country (location) far better. Engaging the Diaspora. A number of Haitian joined the make-shift “Situation Room” to precise geo-location before they could be added to the map.
Techniques
The tools and methods of crisis mapping are new and rapidly changing. Leveraging both technology and crowd sourcing, passionate participants have been able to provide detailed real time information in places of crisis. In recent years, various techniques are being invented to generate maps and analyze the great quantity of information. [3]
