CrowdSource Rescue is a technology platform based in Houston, Texas, that emerged in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey to organize civilian water rescues. It mobilizes spontaneous volunteers by connecting them with those in need during disasters. Since Harvey, the platform has helped rescue nearly 43,000 people by linking them to 15,000 civilian rescuers. The organization operates as a small entity within the civic and social sector, focusing on disaster response and volunteer coordination. In 2020, it partnered with the Brazos Valley Food Bank to support home-delivery of food to seniors and other high-risk individuals during the COVID-19 pandemic.
