From Random Hacks of Kindness
[edit] Concept
Shelter me is a SMS service to find a Shelter during a disaster
[edit] How to use
Send a SMS with your zipcode or complete address (zipcode recomended).
Server will find the closest shelter and send you the address and the number of vacancies.
[edit] Comments
- As applications like Sahana Eden maintain a directory of shelters, evacuation centres etc, and maintain operational information about their capacity/availability, it would be useful to think about how you would interact with a Sahana server to find the most appropriate shelter (may not always be the nearest) to send someone to.
