Simplifying emergency preparedness through innovation, technology and education

My name is Chris Bennett and my mission is to improve people's lives through the design of innovative web applications. What that means is leveraging the affordances of technologies that were not available to us in the past and using them to treat real-world problems. Combine over a decade of experience, the world's greatest education and an intense passion to do good, and a lot starts getting accomplished - quickly.

For example, in the area of disaster preparedness, I have sparked an online revolution in how we perceive the Internet's role in saving lives. Families can create plans customized to their unique needs, local governments can instantly get their previously unheard messages out to the public, and children can become the new advocates of readiness.

The purpose of this online portfolio is to engage others who share the same mission to collectively advance the fields of disaster preparedness and response, as well as online education and training. Enjoy your visit.
