This is an interesting article, it gives two main examples, the
MapMill deployment for Sandy, and Haiti earthquake OSM tracing and
it's use in Ushahdi.

In both examples, the author asks the questions "but does it help?"
"was it used?" etc. Which are valid questions, but it didn't appear
that much effort was taken to ask organisations if it helped and if it
was used.
