saw this being announced by google 
http://google.org/crisismap/2013-uttrakhand-floods , on a bigger picture i
need to talk to people , can only happen tomorrow , the point is we are not
prepared in spite of so many disaster management orgs ? i recall thinking
and talking about Sahana as a solution but it did not happen with Govt .
Looks like we need crisis to shake us and systems :P . May be this time
around we will do something better of the situation.
