How you can help the good folks of New Zealand from your home/no cost, just time
New Zealand has been hit by an event so severe that it has triggered something that used to be thought of as a theoretical possibility. A state of national emergency has been declared for the first time. We have several international USAR/US&R teams providing support. However, the city’s infrastructure is in a terrible state.

If you would like to monitor local & international news to add to http://eq.org.nz, I would appreciate it. I’m coordinating an Ushahidi instance. We have sufficient volunteers approving incoming reports. However, we would be greatful if people could read through news/TV articles and add facts to:
http://eq.org.nz/reports/submit
This instance has received pro-bono support from several major players, including Catalyst IT, Ko-ordinates, Google’s Sydney office, Vodafone, Telecom NZ, 2degrees, Victoria University of Wellington and Optimal Usability. We need to make sure that we have sufficient information over the next few weeks to keep the site sustainable. Your monitoring is vital to ensuring that Christchurch citizens have the information they need to stay healthy and recover.
