CONNECTD uses technology to capture the human reaction to help one’s neighbor after a disaster. By enabling simple acts of human kindness, CONNECTD provides essential recovery relief and catalyzes a lasting culture of kindness. In times of disaster, people are instinctually drawn to help one another. Strangers become neighbors, and differences disappear. But how can people find each other? And what should they do to help? CONNECTD is a web-based platform that deploys rapidly to capture the short-lived outpouring of support that immediately follows a disaster. By channeling the desire to help into actual, simple acts of human kindness, CONNECTD brings about the largest possible disaster-recovery effort at the grassroots level. CONNECTD is like a disaster recovery dating app where survivors post requests for support, and 'helpers' search or scroll through 'opportunities' and swipe to accept or reject. It has social media tie-ins to encourage new user adoption and is gamified to drive continued user engagement. Victims can post their individual needs. Organizations can request supplies. And community members who want to help can volunteer their services and resources. Overtime, CONNECTD evolves to meet the changing needs of long-term disaster recovery.
