Beth's Blog: How Nonprofits Can Use Social Media
JANUARY 16, 2010
I've had some posts in pipeline following up on social media metrics and the Chase Community Giving Contest second phase, but wanted to share these two stories from Haiti from on the ground and a bird's eye view. I'm going back to Haiti in the next few days and need help to give hands-on help to our kids and the townspeople.

I’m joining a panel to talk about the response for support after the Haiti earthquakes last year. Some include the Red Cross, The Weather Channel, local newspapers, Craigslist, and others. The platform would then take their data, map it from their sending location, and create the other visual support data you see on the map.

Whether we look at mapping tools, fundraising, or missing person systems, the social media response to the January earthquakes in Haiti all leverage the powerful technology we can hold in our hands: our mobile phones. Those not in Haiti can also use the application as it aggregates news and actions to take. How can we do that?

For example, in post-earthquake Haiti, Dd trained and empowered local women to track and document incidents of gender-based violence. When they can give data in a report, when they can show a map that has detailed information, when they can show a photograph that produces evidence, it really changes the game for them.

The Esri ArcGIS app (Windows 8) is useful for organizations that wish to build their own relief-related maps. The app lets you preview different data skews and features from Esri's mapping software. You can also text SHELTER and your zip code to 43352 (4FEMA) to find a local shelter. Government Agency Apps.

I did a post a few weeks ago on youth programs in TechSoup Global's new Local Impact Map and decided I hadn’t covered this resource nearly enough. Our Local Impact Map. It first works with local community people to see what its children need and then tailors programs that are specific to that locale.

On January 12, 2010, I didn't personally experience the major earthquake that hit Haiti, but I was forever changed by it. In the midst of the viral Text HAITI to 90999 message, we saw the emergence of what we're calling emergency social data, or #crisisdata. Melissa Eliott was heavily involved in the Haiti relief effort as a volunteer.
