My contribution to the panel is to provide context about the use of social media in emergency and disaster response as well as an overview of some of the tools we saw deployed last year and we may see in the future.

But the way we think about and turn to social media in a time of disaster is changing. 100% of donations went directly to disaster relief. How can we do that? What's Changing?
