A team of more than 1,000 people formed to translate, annotate, geolocate and categorize reports after the earthquake.

Community translation, annotation, geolocation, verification, categorization

Why did this work as well as it did?
![Page 10: Grassroots Information Management](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051411/5404fe3c8d7f729b768b49f8/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Why did it work at all?
![Page 11: Grassroots Information Management](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051411/5404fe3c8d7f729b768b49f8/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
What can we learn from it?
![Page 12: Grassroots Information Management](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051411/5404fe3c8d7f729b768b49f8/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Information management is an opportunity.
![Page 13: Grassroots Information Management](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051411/5404fe3c8d7f729b768b49f8/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
How do we improve participationin information management?
![Page 14: Grassroots Information Management](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051411/5404fe3c8d7f729b768b49f8/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
One view of “crowdsourcing”
![Page 15: Grassroots Information Management](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051411/5404fe3c8d7f729b768b49f8/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
We put ourselves on a pedestal.
![Page 16: Grassroots Information Management](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051411/5404fe3c8d7f729b768b49f8/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
An Open Source perspectiveis different: flat and functional.
![Page 17: Grassroots Information Management](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051411/5404fe3c8d7f729b768b49f8/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Collaboration occurs secondarily.
![Page 18: Grassroots Information Management](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051411/5404fe3c8d7f729b768b49f8/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
A movement can’t be “sourced.”
![Page 19: Grassroots Information Management](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051411/5404fe3c8d7f729b768b49f8/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Information is power.
![Page 20: Grassroots Information Management](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051411/5404fe3c8d7f729b768b49f8/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
We all can work with information to broaden our conception of our communityand actually help in a humanitarian crisis.
![Page 21: Grassroots Information Management](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051411/5404fe3c8d7f729b768b49f8/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
But we must design for a movement, not a “crowd” with “workers.”
![Page 22: Grassroots Information Management](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051411/5404fe3c8d7f729b768b49f8/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
We can learn a lot from past success,from past civic media.
![Page 23: Grassroots Information Management](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051411/5404fe3c8d7f729b768b49f8/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
“Civic media is any form of communication that strengthens the social bonds within a community or creates a strong sense of civic engagement among its residents.”

Paper, books, libraries, maps, postal systems, pens, pencils, phones, television, radio, church basements
Participatory Civic Infrastructure: 1964
![Page 25: Grassroots Information Management](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051411/5404fe3c8d7f729b768b49f8/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
These things won the Civil Rights Act.
![Page 26: Grassroots Information Management](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051411/5404fe3c8d7f729b768b49f8/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
The internet is not a prerequisite for massive social change.
![Page 27: Grassroots Information Management](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051411/5404fe3c8d7f729b768b49f8/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Most of the work is not on the networkat all.
![Page 28: Grassroots Information Management](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051411/5404fe3c8d7f729b768b49f8/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
![Page 29: Grassroots Information Management](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051411/5404fe3c8d7f729b768b49f8/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
![Page 30: Grassroots Information Management](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051411/5404fe3c8d7f729b768b49f8/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
We can now catalyze a diverse team.
![Page 31: Grassroots Information Management](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051411/5404fe3c8d7f729b768b49f8/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
We are translators, hackers, taggers, geolocators, geeks.
![Page 32: Grassroots Information Management](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051411/5404fe3c8d7f729b768b49f8/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
We are rekindling something old.
![Page 33: Grassroots Information Management](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051411/5404fe3c8d7f729b768b49f8/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
We are grounding our work in ourown communities and crises.
![Page 34: Grassroots Information Management](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051411/5404fe3c8d7f729b768b49f8/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
All crises are local; we are all vulnerable.
![Page 35: Grassroots Information Management](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051411/5404fe3c8d7f729b768b49f8/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
But we are interconnected witha global support network, a diaspora.
![Page 36: Grassroots Information Management](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051411/5404fe3c8d7f729b768b49f8/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
And so we are crazy powerful.
![Page 37: Grassroots Information Management](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051411/5404fe3c8d7f729b768b49f8/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Potentially.
![Page 38: Grassroots Information Management](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051411/5404fe3c8d7f729b768b49f8/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Today tens of thousands of people are participating in new forms of civic media and crisis data triage.
![Page 39: Grassroots Information Management](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051411/5404fe3c8d7f729b768b49f8/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
But we need tens of millions.
![Page 40: Grassroots Information Management](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051411/5404fe3c8d7f729b768b49f8/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
One unit of crisis data.
![Page 41: Grassroots Information Management](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051411/5404fe3c8d7f729b768b49f8/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
![Page 42: Grassroots Information Management](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051411/5404fe3c8d7f729b768b49f8/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
![Page 43: Grassroots Information Management](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051411/5404fe3c8d7f729b768b49f8/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Suddenly we have vast amounts of data about the human condition.
![Page 44: Grassroots Information Management](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051411/5404fe3c8d7f729b768b49f8/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
But the data is lost like wasted heat.
![Page 45: Grassroots Information Management](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051411/5404fe3c8d7f729b768b49f8/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
To take action, we mustturn data into knowledge.
![Page 46: Grassroots Information Management](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051411/5404fe3c8d7f729b768b49f8/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Broader participation is the opportunity.
![Page 47: Grassroots Information Management](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051411/5404fe3c8d7f729b768b49f8/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Education is the key to action.
![Page 48: Grassroots Information Management](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051411/5404fe3c8d7f729b768b49f8/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Ultimately, we are learning to protect each other.
