Crsis Camps bring together a network of IT professionals as well as academia, non-profits, companies, entrepreneurs, community associations and government officials drawn together by a call to service. Domain experts, developers, and first responders collaborate with a focus on improving technology and practice for humanitarian crisis management and disaster relief.

They are open and collaborative events. It’s  a part of the Crisis Commons movement.

There are plenty of opportunities to help, whether you are technical or not and whether you have a lot of time or just a few minutes to spare.

“We are witnessing the development of a transformational change in how an average citizen can participate in the crisis response effort,” says CrisisCommons co-founder Noel Dickover.  “Previously you could only send money.  Now, you can directly help in the response. An existing social network of national and international first responders, web 2.0 developers, and NGOs had been established, so the immediate response was just a matter of galvanizing existing relationships.-
