** More Info
Do you want to do something to help the 15 million (and counting) Pakistanis affected by the floods, but don't know what to do? Are you already doing something but feeling confused about what's happening?
Pakistanis! Are you fully aware of the situation in the flood-affected areas? We are dealing with a disaster that is bigger than the 2004 tsunami in Sri Lanka, the 2005 earthquake in Pakistan & the earthquake in Haiti this year.... This requires a bigger response too!
While there are lots of pockets of great work being done, our biggest obstacle at the moment is a lack of information on what is really happening and where and how deep the need for help lies.
To overcome this obstacle, Sahana Foundation, in collaboration with the Rotary & Rotaract Clubs of Karachi Cosmopolitan, Rotary District 3271, Sapphire Consultants have established an information management system to collate information from just about every person who has access to the internet, using a PC, laptop or cell phone. This is the same system that is being used in Haiti to coordinate relief and rebuilding efforts and has now been customized for Pakistan.
This software is used for:
- Posting and Tracking affected areas and numbers of displaced people
- Posting Tracking relief items needed in each area
- Tracking the generation and movement of relief packages from the major cities of Pakistan to the flood-affected areas
- Google/Yahoo Map of effected areas.
- List of hospitals and relief centers.
All this LIVE!
