History
The modern techniques find their roots in the massive response technology experts and volunteers provided to the Katrina disaster survivors and response initiative in 2005 in the USA.
Further notable developments came in the disasters that follow, in particular the 7.0MW earthquake in Haiti on January 12, 2010 and the 9.0MW earthquake and tsunami in Japan on March 11, 2011.
Academia involvement
Following the aftermath of the 2010 Haiti earthquake, a group of fellows, academics, technology experts and emergency response volunteers organized a Relief 2.0 workshop at Stanford University in February 2010 to collect and organize the lessons learned in the field in Haiti. These lessons were further researched and worked on at the of the National University of Singapore Entrepreneurship Centre in collaboration with the Peace Innovation Lab at Stanford University and later tested in the field in the Tohoku Region of Japan after 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami. The findings were presented at Kyushu University in Fukuoka, Japan on April 2010 during the TEDxEarthquake9.0 conference.
