But I think there's an inaccuracy there. On 3 occasions the post mentions a "hurricane" in Haiti. I may be wrong, but as far as I know there has been no hurricane in Haiti this year. But on January 12th, 2010, there was a devastating earthquake. Hi,

The easier they making donating, the more money will be donated.

Thanks for your comment and contribution. While the disaster in Haiti has been a tragedy of mammoth proportions, it has definitely been encouraging to see how helpful social media can be with relief efforts. Can you even imagine what it would have been like to have these tools throughout the past century - with the World Wars and other important moments in history?!?!? Hi Casey!

It shows that when the need is urgent and the call to action simple, people will use any tools at their disposal to help. I also posted on this topic at: http://www.coneinc.com/disaster-relief-in-the-digital-age I hope that from this tragedy, other organizations will realize the power of mobile and other new media tools. Leveraging these channels before disaster strikes will be key to making it work in the time of need. Thanks for your post! Casey Brennan Insights Associate, Cone Hey Elicia-

One great opportunity is through Northwest haiti Christian Mission. NWHCM is offering the option to donate toward our earthquake assistance efforts by texting “Support NWHCM” to 20222. Each text message will send a gift of $5 directly to relief and recovery work in Haiti.
