Contributed by Rick DeVan on July 15, 2010 at 7:00 am ET

Resource: Mapping the Response to BP Oil Spill in the Gulf of Mexico

Not “Thriv’Able” in the original sense, but more in the great tools we have at our fingertips.

Not Getting It: Tony Hayward and BP

Contributed by Rick DeVan on June 19, 2010 at 4:01 pm ET

Resource: While oil spews and cleanup continues, BP chief watches yacht race.

This may be the true tipping point for BP and Tony Hayward. Not the failed efforts to stop the oil. Not the testimony to Congress. Not the “I want my life back” comment. The yacht race may very well be the real point-of-no-return in the eyes of the public.

Thriv’Able Special: Visualize The Oil

Contributed by Rick DeVan on June 18, 2010 at 3:39 pm ET

Resource: Visualizing the BP Oil Spill Disaster.

Admittedly, this isn’t “Thriv’Able”, but it does help us visualize the size of the disaster. Centered on my home town of Willoughby, Ohio, the oil would stretch from Toledo to Buffalo and cover all of Lake Erie. That’s as of today.

Thriv’Able Thursday (IV): Gulf Coast Disaster and Social Media

Contributed by Rick DeVan on June 3, 2010 at 7:20 am ET

Resource: 4 Social Media Efforts to Aid the Gulf Coast.
Via Mashable.

The far-reaching Gulf oil spill tragedy has left many people feeling powerless to help out. But beyond the official Deep Horizon response, pockets of non-profits and people are starting to use social media tools to organize grassroots activities throughout the Gulf region.

Even though it is impossible to predict disasters, I would like to see some sort of system be put in place so the grassroots work can get started immediately.
