The Red Cross is helping at least 4,700 people in dozens of emergency shelters in Louisiana after disastrous flooding forced them from their homes. The situatio...n is extremely chaotic, with life-threatening flood waters combining with power outages and road closures that are complicating relief efforts. Despite these struggles, Red Cross disaster volunteers—many of whom have been impacted themselves—are opening shelters, providing meals and comfort. If you would like to help people affected by the Louisiana Floods, please visit redcross.org, call 1-800-RED CROSS or text the word LAFLOODS to 90999 to make a $10 donation. We also encourage you to visit the American Red Cross Southeast Louisiana page and our website for additional updates: http://www.redcross.org/…/Red-Cross-Sheltering-Thousands-in…. Thank you!

Yes this is the week 5 years ago the CrisisCamp and CrisisCommons movement took hold, and an adhoc community of technologists came together around the world to help provide their services in the aftermath of the Haiti earthquake. This event changed many of our lives and put us on various paths toward a global #tech4good conciesness. There are now so many great groups doing work here today. And in Haiti we will never forget.
