Subject: Livestream Today: White House Innovation for Disaster Response and Recovery Demo Day

Friends and Colleagues,

 

Today the White House is hosting the Innovation for Disaster Response and Recovery Initiative Demo Day.  This event brings together technologists, entrepreneurs, and members of the disaster response community to showcase tools that will make a tangible impact in the lives of survivors of large-scale emergencies.   Building on the innovations highlighted as part of the President’s Hurricane Briefing in May 2014, these innovations aim to enable, empower, and strengthen these survivors and their communities in the wake of a disaster.

 

The event will be livestreamed today at 1:30PM ET. We hope you can watch the event online and join the conversation on Twitter with @SafetyDataGov and @DHSscitech using #DisasterTech and feel free to share the link to the livestream with your friends and colleagues
