Amy Sample Ward, NetSquared. When disaster strikes, we want information as soon as possible and we want to help just as quickly. But the way we think about and turn to social media in a time of disaster is changing. Reports of violence and of peace efforts could be placed via the web or mobile phone. How can we do that?

A similar example is that of an Atlanta city councilman who chose to post a message to Twitter asking for a medic to respond to an unconscious woman on the street rather than to dial 911 when his mobile phone battery was very low. The real-time web has also revolutionized the way we support local communities in disaster.

Individual donors receive the notification and make donations through the app. But what if an app could be used to help nonprofits, public libraries, and other community groups organize and solve pressing problems?
