Ushahidi, HOT, Google Person Finder, ICT, etc. things we talk about everyday and work on, have saved thousands of peoples lives in mega-disasters in places/countries where possibly easier to work in some situations. However, at this moment any humanitarian mapping group that can help with anything are very much appreciated. And all the suggestions I will repost on Chinese twitter - Weibo (http://www.weibo.com/) - to authorities and Departments concerned. For those who have Weobo account please add me GIS地信前沿 or at this link: http://www.weibo.com/geomaps. Thank you very much for everything.</div><div><div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>All the
