媒体，信息系统和社区：海地的经验
根据一份新的报告，在协助被地震重创的海地时，救援者史无前例地运用了创新技术。互动地图和短信服务指引搜救队找到那些急需支援的人。这个加勒比海国家好像成了新沟通工具在现实世界中的实验室。
一份名为“媒体、信息系统和社区：海地的经验”的报告认为，尽管这些创新工具对海地的影响是多层次的，但它们都展现了在未来危机中这些创新工具的潜力。
“海地的经验充分说明，数字媒体和信息技术通过实时现场协作，能够极大地改进救援的效果。” Knight基金会的总裁助理兼战略评估总监Mayur Patel说，“将这些工具整合到救援工作中，能够帮助我们在未来危机中营救更多的生命。”
在所有的创新中：
救援者众包信息来源——并及时行动：被困者和紧急医疗的报告通过救援者发送的短信被收集起来，并在一份他们使用的在线地图上做出标记。例如，美国海军在收到饮用水短缺的报告后，将水和清洁用品送到了一个营地中。
通过短信向海地人传递关键信息：手机公司，救援小组和媒体创造并使用“4636”这个编码，给成千上万的人传送了重要的公共卫生情况的信息。
志愿者创建了开源地图作为引导：通过使用手持GPS设备，志愿者创造了实时地图来帮助人道组织和公众在受灾地区进行导航。
这份报告谨慎地反对把海地的经验叫做一次“新媒体的胜利故事”——尽管有人第一次支吾地表达过这一观点。 例如，缺少协作和对如何使用这种工具的知识，仍使得一些营救努力无功而返。此外，这份报告还发现，和全球之前的危机类似，广播仍然是为本地居民提供信息服务的最有效工具。
Internew人道主义项目的副总裁Mark Frohardt说：“我们已经知道，和危机受灾人群沟通的最有效途径之一就是广播。在海地，我们发现创新技术本身不仅对信息传递有影响，更极大地放大了广播的覆盖范围和效果。”
该报告对技术组织、媒体发展、人道主义组织、政府机构和捐赠者和提出了一系列关于改进未来营救工作中协作的建议。
