Unique Properties

OLIVE is a wiki site that gathers and shares practical knowledge during a disaster. The project was named OLIVE, derived from the letter O (an emblem of the Japanese national flag) + LIVE (to live on). Ideas were quickly gathered with help from worldwide, on how to build necessities to survive in affected areas without the supplies. It achieved over one million page views within three weeks. It is still expanding today as a database of disaster countermeasures using collective intelligence.

Inspiration

As a result of seeking the Internet for several hours since the occurrence of the Great East Japan Earthquake, we realized there were tons of people who wanted to help the affected areas as we do. People were sharing information, however, as it was a colossal disaster, the speed of information uploaded was too rapid to keep track. It was necessary for a place to store and organize this kind of useful information together. We, therefore, decided to create a wiki site, OLIVE.
