New Crisis Service

September 4th, 2008 by Taylor

If you’ve been reading my blog for a while, you may have heard about Ushahidi already. The original version was put together in only a few days to respond to the political violence following the last election. Today they have relaunched. With grant funding and developers all over the world, this thing is going to rock. It exists as a portal to gather info about acts of violence during a crisis. It’s not really meant to gather individual acts of crime, but larger scale events. Eventually they will have an engine that anyone can use for themselves. Check it out by clicking the image below…
