I recently received the following messages and was curious if anyone knew of any applications out there that used OSM (still waiting to get OSM's mediawiki extension on Wikia). Suggestions?<br><br>"I work for the a local County Civil Defense Agency. We have an interest in establishing a "Disaster Wiki" that would allow us to take in information from the community when a disaster strikes. Our interest stems from an article in Emergency Management magazine, which describes how a wiki could be used to gather information. The basic thought is that after a disaster, people could go to a pre-established wiki and fill out a simple online form, geo-code the location of the damage, add a picture and have that information populate a map. We could display the map on our monitors in the Emergency Operations Center and help identify which areas of the island were hardest hit by the event. I was initially steered toward a site called <a href="http://ushahidi.com">ushahidi.com</a>, but we would have to load the software on a County Server and we currently do not have the server capacity to handle the additional traffic. Our desired solution would be to have the wiki hosted offsite. I was wondering if you might have any suggestions. Thanks for any help you can offer."<br>
