The Disaster Learning Curve

If we have enough disasters, we may learn, but we're still low on the curve, coordination-wise:

Technology Review and the Clinton/Bush site point to this site. It 's GIS based with different data layers.

Google has a People finder site and the two ought to be at least cross-linked.

Help for Haiti: Learn What You Can Do



And of course the Red Cross is doing its thing.

As a side note, I see Dan Snyder's private plane was reportedly being use to convey people to Haiti--don't know if it was one of the planes which the FAA had to order back because there was no traffic control at Port-au-Prince and no fuel on the ground. 

Bottomline, everyone likes to rush into action, it will take some more disasters to climb a bit further up the curve.
