About:
CrisisWire aggregates information about a specific crisis or disaster event from many different sources, including:
Google Maps
News websites
Blogs
UStream chat
Flickr
Text, photos and videos tagged with specific keywords appear on one page so a clear picture of what is currently happening is possible.
CrisisWire depends on citizen journalists as well as traditional media outlets.
The information is not curated, so you must evaluate its worth or accuracy for yourself.
If you would like to contribute to the stream about a specific event, note the tags being used for that event and tag your online content with at least one of them.
CrisisWire was created and is maintained by volunteers from RefreshSD, a community of web designers, developers and marketers in San Diego, California.
