Its early in this tragic disaster, but we've already seen how effective off the shelf social media tools have been in establishing communications and getting the adhoc word out. Regular people were skyping, tweeting, and sending pictures through regular old email.
What we'll also likely see is that the relief organizations can't talk to one another's emergency relief systems, that the military will not communicate will with all the NGOS, and that the internal Hatian based systems will be interoperable with all......
We need a strong implementation effort on intereoperable data like Common Alerting Protocol and other emergency management formats under development. Another example of not being able to connect the dots when lives are at risk.
