Qlgalting's List: Digital Citizenship

• The Red Cross and FEMA have received praise in some quarters but criticism in others for a slow response to neighborhoods like the majority Black- and Brown-affected areas in Brooklyn and Queens.
• On Tuesday Nov. 13, Sheila Stainback, communications officer of the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA), announced, "More than 98 percent of our residents have had power restored. We are on the scene today at the Red Hook Houses with more than three busloads of NYCHA staff, who will knock on the doors of the more than 6,000 residents there to assess their needs."
• Said Skinner," [There is] a grassroots youth group, the Rockaway Youth Task Force, that, since the storm, has single-handedly organized one of the largest donation drop-offs in the Rockaways and coordinated large teams of young people within and outside the community to bring desperately needed items to the elderly, disabled and others to their doorsteps.
• "They did this by going door to door within the projects, up and down the stairs, back and forth, for days. As you can imagine, this was no small feat They brought in the assistance of Occupy Wall Street, Doctors Without Borders and a host of others to ensure the well being, health and safety of the residents of Rockaway."
• But we made up the numbers because of volunteers," said Taylor. "We put out a request and a lot of volunteers came from all over the city to donate their time and supplies. One woman said if it wasn't for us, she didn't know how she would get food. The elevator was not working, and her phone was not working."

• scream fire in a crowded Internet
• This week, in Hurricane Sandy’s wake, those of us with Internet access across the country took to social networks to talk about the storm. And talk we did: Facebook and Twitter mentions of “Hurricane Sandy” skyrocketed, and Instagram saw 10 photos uploaded per second during the height of the storm on Monday.
• But there was one person in particular who managed to steal the #Sandy social spotlight this week, whom the world has come to know as @ComfortablySmug. The hedge fund analyst, whose real name is Shashank Tripathi, decided to use the viral news peg to spread misinformation about the storm, including posts that said the New York Stock Exchange floor was under three feet of water and that Con Edison was shutting all power off in Manhattan.

Facing eastward, the camera will show Sandy as it bears down on Manhattan. It's also the perfect tool for New Yorkers without access to a window view to survey the deteriorating conditions.

• This is a no-brainer, but needs to be included. Sites like the Huffington Post have put together handy "Who to Follow" lists for the Hurricane. Government and local crisis and disaster organizations will be tweeting out helpful storm information and meteorologists and citizens on the ground will be updating with dispatches from hard-hit areas.
