Dear ISF Colleagues,
I just want to call your attention to Ushahidi, which has reworked its
web site. This organization started out tracking post-election
violence and Kenya, and is working toward allowing anyone to submit
crisis information through text messaging using a mobile phone, email
or web form. It's sort of like Twitter for life and death situations.
<http://www.ushahidi.com/>
If your nonprofit is concerned with crisis management, you may already
be looking for a tool like Ushahidi. Don't reinvent the wheel - check
out what this team is doing!
Best regards from Deborah

"Nothing softeneth the Arrogance of our Nature
like a Mixture of some Frailties. It is by them
that we are best told, that we must not strike
too hard upon others....They pull our Rage by
the sleeve and whisper Gentleness to us in our censures."
-George Savile (1633 - 1695)
