Floods in the Philippines: Google Person Finder, landing page with emergency information
August 7, 2012
A devastating Southwest Monsoon hit the Island of Luzon, Philippines, yesterday, triggering major flooding. The Crisis Response team has collected resources on to a new page to help in the aftermath of the floods, with information in both
Filipino
and
English
. The site features emergency contact information and links, a new instance of Google Person Finder, a map of shelter locations and flood information, and the latest news, powered by Google News and YouTube.
Person Finder
helps people submit or search for information about loved ones who may have been affected. The tool’s been translated into Filipino and can easily be embedded on any site:
We’re also able to share a map showing the locations of shelters and the extent of the flood, with real-time information from
Project NOAH (Nationwide Operational Assessment of Hazards)
:

. This map will continue to be updated with additional information.
We hope that those affected find the tools and information useful. Check back, as we’ll be updating the landing page and maps with more information as it becomes available.
