Hack For Japan organized their first hackathon just one week after the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami to help those affected. They developed some tools like Beef Tracer and Wind@Fukushima Nuclear Plan, but found issues with sustainability, connecting to those in need, and skillset mismatches. They now focus on open data/government, promoting hacker culture, programming education, and preparing for future disasters.
