Haiti crowdsourced information about the crisis from local residents via text messages to be translated and mapped within 3 days, helping relief organizations respond to emergencies quickly. Over 170 volunteers and 10,000 Haitian diaspora volunteers assisted with translation, geolocation, and verifying reports which were sent to relief organizations, with one report of an orphanage being out of water getting a response within 10 minutes. The system enhanced Ushahidi's ability to filter and refine crowdsourced information to provide accurate, weighted results to relief workers in Haiti.
