本文件概述了在海地救灾工作中使用信息技术的方式，特别是基于网络的制图服务。虽然有许多方式，这发生了，本文重点放在四个特别是：危机营海地，OpenStreetMap，Ushahidi和GeoCommons。这一分析表明，信息技术是一种关键手段，通过这种手段，个人可以在不实际出现在海地的情况下，对救济和援助机构的工作产生切实影响。虽然并非没有问题，但这一努力仍然是一个显著的例子，说明了在线制图的力量和众包，以及地理上相距遥远、差异巨大的地方之间互动的新途径的潜力。
This paper outlines the ways in which information technologies (ITs) were used in the Haiti relief effort, especially with respect to web-based mapping services. Although there were numerous ways in which this took place, this paper focuses on four in particular: CrisisCamp Haiti, OpenStreetMap, Ushahidi, and GeoCommons. This analysis demonstrates that ITs were a key means through which individuals could make a tangible difference in the work of relief and aid agencies without actually being physically present in Haiti. While not without problems, this effort nevertheless represents a remarkable example of the power and crowdsourced online mapping and the potential for new avenues of interaction between physically distant places that vary tremendously.
