Hi everyone,
American Red Cross social media coordinator Wendy Harman asked me to pass along this note to you to see if it generated any ideas or potential synergies with your projects. Both the PersonFinder and Tweak The Tweet came to mind reading her note.
Thanks,
ac

Hi Andy –
I have a request for your crisis camp friends to tackle.
Red Cross hosts a site called Safe and Well where people can register themselves after an emergency event and family members can search the site to find them (if they know the loved ones’ basic contact info).
I have 3 elements I’d like to figure out:
Do you think the CrisisCamp peeps would be willing to think about these issues for us?

- Where we are: In the same vein and on the same platform we’d like to be able to input where we are providing services. Eventually I’d like to see the ability for individual Red Cross relief workers to text in their location and activities. This will make people nervous internally because it leaves our workers vulnerable to security issues, but would like to start thinking about how to do it now.

Hi Everyone,
I'd also like to note that the person finder facebook app is already here:�http://apps.facebook.com/googlepersonfinder/
We should try our best not to reproduce efforts.
