Depends on the data you want to get. Many examples and tools exist. Whatever you do, taking the people into account is more beneficial for them. Typically, data gets extracted from a community so others can make decisions 'for' the citizens. Of all the places, PR should not be another example of this. Time, and time again, resiliency depends on self efficacy, which means the people need to have a say in how they recover, otherwise you are perpetuating the trauma.
Getting people to give you personal info with geolocation can be difficult and it should be. Too much personal data is being stolen and used for unwanted ads, etc. My opinion on the topic seems to be controversial, but participatory science is just a first step. To truly empower people, they need to be in control. Not just guiding, but running the amount and type of data they will share. People want help, the government and aid agencies WANT reliable authenticated data, so, to me, the situation and solution are obvious. Create a simple framework where there are just two types of information, a "has" (a resource) and "needs" (a lack of a resource). Use tags with these two categories to segregate them and enable matching algorithms to work out the shortest logistical path. Use a reputation engine that severely reduces rank on false entries, and rewards true inputs, amplified by proximity to the event. Most importantly, give every user notification at every point that their request message is forwarded or responded to. My premise is that people will provide an appropriate level of personal information in response to a specific request IF they know their issue is being tracked transparently, and they have a reasonable expectation that the data will not be used for purposes other than what was specifically requested. A system I have been designing works from the individual outward (to community and region, then governance and aid). It builds itself automatically, working from neighbor to neighbor-hood and beyond. This ensures local solution building and presents needs as an unambiguous list for responders to answer. Happy to discuss at greater length if you wish.
