Imagine my good fortune a few Thursdays ago, as I walked into Google's funky DC offices (is that an oxymoron? can offices be funky in DC?) to be greeted by a mini-army of cheerful, up-beat, enthusiastic Googlers. They had assembled from all over the country to see how we - in the public/NGO sector - could partner with Google and use their technologies to help in minimizing casualties and losses in global disasters. I met some of their amazing tech gurus and other disaster management experts from many different organizations. It was a great experience!
All credit of course goes to Jen Mazzon who was a superb host and great partnership-builder. I look forward to working with their team soon. meanwhile, here are some resources from the event im sure many people would be interested in seeing:
