How to help?
How to help? is a platform developed collaboratively on GitHub. It was created after the earthquake in Puebla on September 19th, 2017, with the aim of gathering the necessary information for those who want to donate, be it food, personal hygiene items, rescue items, medicines, or make monetary donations or volunteer teams of emergency response. This digital innovation centralizes information and allows citizens to locate what type of aid is needed in the different areas affected by the earthquake. In addition, people can point out help methods by sending a tweet to @comoayudarmx or by filling out a contact form.

Mode of Selection of Participants: is the innovation open to all participants, access is restricted to some kind of condition, or both methods apply?
Type of participants: those who participate are individual citizens, civil society organizations, private stakeholders or a combination of those?
Decisiveness: does the innovation takes binding, non-binding or no decision at all?
Co-governance: is there involvement of the government in the process or not?
