There are so many good, recent (last 4 years) examples of how access to technology and information have helped people survive, heal, and rebuild in natural disaster situations. This seems a no-brainer. The key here seems to be that not only do people in natural disaster situations need access to technology and information, but they need to be empowered - through a shift in the architecture of disaster relief - to be able to create their own new foundations. This Imogen clearly indicates in the title of her piece. I'm just not sure that's the argument she is following through on. She seems to be arguing one thing in her title (empower the people) and another in the piece (information is the key).
