Google has stepped up to help the Tsunami hit
Japan by launching a Crisis Response Page. A large magnitude earthquake struck Japan on
March 11th, there by destructing a large area of
Japan. This Google Crisis Response Page is a
person finder tool to find information about your friends and family.
Google is in collaboration with local governments to obtain information on the earth quake affected
areas and the possible shelter solutions for
people near by. The Google Crisis Response Team
has used Google Maps to post pictures of the Tsunami affected areas and has given people a
clear view of shelter and safe locations near by. Google Person Finder tool was released within an hour after Earth Quake struck Japan. Google has also posted news alerts, video updates and has also warned people through its
homepage to beware of what was
happening. Google will be donating $250,000 as
funds in relief operations and has actively
participated in providing the latest news and updates regarding the current situation in Japan.
Hats off to Google!
