The problem

Emergency managers and government comms directors have to get the word out when it matters most.

TODO What makes that hard today, and who we’ve talked to about it.

02

What we’re trying

One place to get the word out.

TODO What it does, and what we’re building first.

03

What we’ve learned

TODO What the workbench has taught us so far, including what broke.

Ship's log

From the log

Stage changes, launches and the things that broke. We write it all down.

Read the whole log

TODO No log entries yet. DisasterHub’s milestones so far: a date and one line each.

How an experiment grows

Where it’s headed

  1. Napkin

    Sketch it

    An idea on paper, a problem worth chasing. Nothing built yet.

  2. Workbench

    Build it

    The crew is building. Not public yet, but the log is.

    We’re here
  3. Sea trial

    Test it for real

    Real people are using it. Expect rough edges, and tell us about them.

  4. Set sail

    Ship it

    It graduates into an Awesome Cause product, with support behind it.

  5. Scuttled

    Or stop it

    Any stage can end here, on purpose. The log says what we learned.

TODO What would put DisasterHub on a sea trial, and with whom?

Bring us a problem

Got a stubborn one?

A process your team hates, a service people can’t find, an idea nobody’s had time for. If it’s in government or a nonprofit, we want to hear it.

Agency, nonprofit or team. “Just me” is fine.

Who has the problem, and what does it cost them? A few sentences is plenty.
