Hacking for Humanity

Throughout the weekend, we will be coding around problems related to disaster risk

and response. RHoK has been working with subject matter experts from around the

globe to develop problem statements addressing global disaster risk challenges. These

problem statements will be the hacking challenges thrown out to developers assembled

in over a dozen locations across the globe for the RHoK hacking event. See those

statements as they develop at http://wiki.rhok.org

At the end of the weekend, we'll invite you to share your RHoK application with the

world, with the potential to win prizes and to see your work put to use on the ground

to save lives and make a difference. Winning apps developed at past RHoK events are

already being put to use in the field!

What do I need?

We will provide facilities, power, food and refreshments to sustain you through the

marathon of coding. Just bring your laptop, ideas and enthusiasm to complete the mix.

When and Where?

RHoK is hosting U.S. events in Chicago, New York City, Seattle and Atlanta. Other global

locations will include Bangalore, India; Sao Paulo, Brazil; Aarhus, Denmark; Toronto,
