I love a good data story.
Like many of you, I downloaded Watch Duty during the LA fires, as my folks were near the Eaton Fire as it flamed this past month. It was so helpful to LA residents near the fire, and to all of us who care for those residents.
The power of internet computing and the existence of those with skill from any industry, distributed globally, means that anyone (or any team) with the right skill set, the right interest, the ability to build relationships, can create a world-changing tool that becomes instantly useful.
Now Watch Duty is used in 22 states and growing, and the creator is considering adding other natural disasters to the free app. Incredible.
Read the WIRED story and be transfixed. Heroes still exist in our world.
