In this video interview, Brian Herbert of Ushahidi, Robert Munro of FrontlineSMS, Lukas Biewald of CrowdFlower, and Leila Janah of Samasource share background on how they came together, with the support of inSTEDD, DigiCel, local radio stations, and local NGOs, to deploy a critical emergency communications system to help save lives and provide emergency care to people in Haiti, following the catastrophic 7.0 earthquake that hit the country on January 12, 2010.

Learn how people in Haiti and around the world tapped the power of mobile text messages, crowdsourcing, social media and technology to come together in support of Haiti.
