From the editor:
As we watched news reports of hurricanes, earthquakes, and flooding disasters from the past few months, we at WhiteHat Magazine asked ourselves what technology was doing to build resilience in developing areas–and what it could do to help disaster-struck areas to recover.
Our Fall 2017 edition, “Disaster and Development” is the result of these conversations. But technology is not the only answer in disaster situations, of course. That’s why until December 31st, we will be donating 10% of every new subscription to Puerto Rico hurricane recovery efforts.
