Web Portal to Assist Earthquake Relief Effort in Pakistan
An information-sharing web portal called Pakistan Relief and
Information Systems for Earthquakes has been launched to
provide information about the 4,000 villages in the largely
rural earthquake-affected areas of Pakistan. The portal was
developed and is maintained by a consortium of experts drawn
from the World Bank, American and Pakistani universities and
the private sector, with support from the government of
Pakistan. It provides damage and relief information
about affected villages from agencies, relief workers, local
officials and anyone with access to immediate village-level
data. It is expected that this web portal will provide
critical support to the coordination of relief, allowing
resources to be channeled to the areas that need them most.
