People Finder for the Cagayan de Oro and Iligan Flash Flood

[schihei]

Dear all,

some of my friends are affected by the flash flood that happened
yesterday in Cagayan de Oro and Iligan, Philippines. Many people were
killed or are still missing by a flash flood that was triggered by the
tropical storm that coincided with high tides, trapping many in their
homes.

The latest information from the Philippine Red Cross shows that the
death toll is increasing rapidly and still many people are missing.

I was wondering how and if it is possible to create a new 'people
finder' instance for this disaster. I am sure it would help many
people and can be shared easily via the Philippine Red Cross and other
social networks.

Also, some of my friends did a simulation of this flash flood and
create an hazard map. The result can be seen in via Google maps, too.
