Community Powered Disaster Recovery (video) - Continuity In ...

?On June 1st we weren?t disaster relief experts but on June 3rd we started faking it,? say Caitria and Morgan O?Neill.

After a freak tornado hit their town, these sisters felt they had no choice but to help themselves and their community. They did a great job and now they?re teaching other people how to step up in a crisis.

This is an inspirational ?TED Talk? from two young women who had to learn to solve crisis problems quickly and with the bare minimum of resources.

Watch here:

The O?Neill sisters went on to create a crisis management in a box product which includes an intuitive software tool that anyone can use: the aim being that locals are given them so they can lead their own recovery before, during and after the government and aid agencies play a part.

They?re currently going around the US raising awareness for the resource.

And if TED loves it, so do we!
