While the name may imply old-fashioned single-file lines of volunteers passing buckets one by one; the Louisiana Bucket Brigade (LABB) - formed to contribute to clean-up efforts resulting from the BP Deepwater Horizon spill - has embraced an outreach plan that utilizes real-time data sent from citizens to create interactive maps and charts tracking the oil spill along the Gulf.  In harnessing the power of the people, they’re revolutionizing the way rescue and clean-up operations are performed.
