Update on NY Tech Opportunities to Help
November 01, 2012 by Developer

Hi NYTM Members -

Thank you to so many of you for raising your hands already to help with Hurricane Sandy recovery efforts, especially when so many of you are still without power and without offices and apartments yourselves. We expect that we will be receiving more requests for assistance in the coming days and we are working on hackathon plans for next week (including working with hackathons that had previously been scheduled).

In the next 24 hours, here are some things you can do to help:

REGISTER AS A VOLUNTEER
If you haven’t done so already, register yourself as a tech volunteer:

*If You Need A Space to Work in Other Areas*
If you need an office or have an office for displaced visit bit.ly/sandycowork

HELP US REACH PEOPLE WHO NEED HELP
If you need help or you know of small businesses, non-profits, schools, or other organizations that are in need of assistance, please submit your information or have them complete (or complete it on their behalf) our request for assistance: http://bit.ly/hurricanetechhelp

OTHER WAYS TO HELP
If you are looking for other ways to help on the ground, please check out what the Red Cross needs the most help with: http://www.nyredcross.org/?nd=news_room_detail&news_id=606&jid=63321

Thank you again for your commitment to helping New York recover – you are what make this city amazing. We’ll be in touch again soon.

Best,
Jessica
