Ideathon: Code for Resilience mixes tech and disaster risk experts to spark innovation The first people to arrive at the scene of any natural disaster are almost always members of the affected community. Yet in most cases, disaster response and recovery mechanisms are built from the top down... Reducing Disaster Risk through Hydromet Technology in Haiti SMS Lapli was developed by computer science students under Code for Resilience (CfR) Haiti, a World Bank and GFDRR-supported program that brings together technological innovators with government services to accelerate Haiti’s resilience to natural disasters...

Code for Resilience (CfR) fosters a global community of citizens, governments, and technologists using open innovation, open data, and open software and hardware tools to identify and reduce the risks posed by natural disasters. The program works with local disaster management authorities to understand local disaster risk, and engages citizens and technologists in building or adapting existing technology tools that can reduce natural hazard risks to local communities. CfR is guided by the principles of community-led design and open innovation, and contributes to the global commons of information, knowledge, tools, and trained specialists using technology for disaster risk management.

The program is an initiative of the Global Facility for Disaster Risk Reduction (GFDRR), a trust fund housed in World Bank headquarters in Washington, DC. Learn more about mentorship, fellowship, and code sprint activities at www.codeforresilience.org.
