New York City's New "Code Corps", A Volunteer Force of Techies in Disaster Response
Sun, 2013-03-03 16:41 — Kathy Gilbeauxtechpresident.com - by Miranda Neubauer - February 14, 2013
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced a new initiative called Code Corps in his State of the City address today, billed as the country's first municipal program that brings volunteer technologists to bear on city government's emergency and disaster recovery needs.
Through Code Corps, techies in the city can volunteer their time to build digital tools for disaster situations. Vetted volunteers will be expected to work on new databases, build maps on city data, pull together web and mobile applications and help analyze the impact of a disaster, according to an overview on the NYC Digital web page.
