Yo Yoshida is a seasoned innovator and entrepreneur with a passion for government and technology. He took his passion and over 15 years of experience in technology, marketing, finance, non-profits, and sustainable development to create Appallicious. As a leader in the Civic Tech and Open Data Industries he has won national awards, has been published in numerous articles in mainstream and industry media, and has received national recognition by the tech, business, and government leadership. Yo was recently honored to present from the White House, the Disaster Assistance and Assessment Dashboard (DAAD), to the nation as a technology solution for disasters.

Appallicious is an open data visualization company that creates products to help government better serve its citizens. For the last year we have been collaborating with the White House, FEMA, and the OpenFEMA labs to create a comprehensive platform to help communities stay whole after disaster strikes. The DAAD uses open data to assess community resiliency, increase disaster preparedness and promote economic recovery in the wake of a disaster. DAAD enables citizens, faith based organizations, businesses, and governments to share resources, request assistance, and better understand the potential for recovery on a localized basis - all in one platform. DAAD further empowers communities and businesses to list their available assets in a shareable marketplace for the federal and local government to hire or source resources locally while rebuilding.
