Very interesting. Here in New Zealand we saw the very quickly crowd-sourced mashup called Student Volunteer Army(SVA) in the wake of the Christchurch earthquakes. THW appears to be an organisation more thoughtfully designed and more generously funded. I had the chance to meet with SVA founders. This type of org is low cost, medium reward. Very cool with lots of scope for building more resilient communities.
