An excellent example of the use of ICT for disaster relief is the http://tsunamihelp.blogspot.com/
blog website. It "emerged" over the last few days through the efforts of volunteers and bloggers from around the world, and provides faster and more comprehensive news, information and updates about the disaster than most of the single agency "official" sites. They have also worked to organise the information they are receiving into an emergency database at Wiki: http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Tsunami_Help Please pass these links on to people and agencies affected by or responding to the disaster.
