Abstract

One interesting area of global crowdsharing communities is the application to disaster preparedness and response. The expected impact of global warming is that there will be an increase in significant weather-driven disaster events, all which make preparedness and response to such events increasingly important. This is one of the main tenets of the UN’s Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction and the associated Sustainable Development Goals. This paper covers a range of ‘crowd’ activities that address disaster management, including crowdsharing and crowdsourcing, crowdmapping, and crowdsensing. Examples from Small Island Developing States (SIDS), notably of Dominica after Hurricane Maria (2017), are used to illustrate the potential of the global crowd community in this increasingly important area.
