This document discusses crisis and interaction design lessons from the 2010 Haiti earthquake. It makes three key points: 1. Survival is a universal theme in times of crisis. 2. Information management presents opportunities for helping people in crisis situations. The Haiti earthquake response showed how crowdsourcing information about needs and emergencies could help over 3 million survivors. 3. While "crowdsourcing" models are impressive, true collaboration between a core team and network of supporters is more effective than automation alone. Designing crisis response systems requires focusing on leadership, participation levels, listening, data entry, translation, flexibility and other factors.
