Haiti Connect & NUI Galway hold Ireland’s first Crisiscamp!

NUI Galway's Discipline of Information Technology will be hosting Ireland’s first CrisisCamp on Sunday 26 February. It is being organised with Haiti Connect, a charitable trust based in Co. Galway. Crisiscamps are a series of global events organised by members of CrisisCommons a global community of volunteers from technology, crisis response organizations, government agencies, and individuals that are working together to build and use ICT technology tools to help respond to disasters and improve resiliency and response before a crisis.
CrisisCamp began in March 2009 as a event to connect crisis management and global development practitioners to the technology volunteer community. During the Haiti response, CrisisCamp became a movement and added a response mechanism to the community.
The event will take place in the Information Technology Building on the NUI Galway campus February 26th from 10 am until 7 pm. Admission is free but interested parties are encouraged to register via the website: www.crisiscampireland.com For more details please contact Mr. Evert Bopp on 086/8645099 or by email on info@crisiscampireland.com
