1) After the 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan, social media played an important role in coordinating disaster response and relief efforts. 2) Websites like sinsai.info and Google Person Finder helped gather and share critical information about the missing, available services, and safety updates. 3) Open data sharing and crowdsourcing enabled new applications to be rapidly developed to map needs and coordinate volunteers, providing vital assistance in the aftermath of the disaster.
