In response to the terrible earthquake in Haiti, Textuel La Mine (BDDP Unlimited) has put together a bilingual (French and English) website to help families and friends more quickly restore contact and exchange news with survivors.

In this emergency situation, the Internet promises to be the most effective means of communication, as the services provided by social networks such as Twitter and Facebook show. This inspired the agency to create a site totally dedicated to centralizing and sharing information about people being sought.

Very easy to use, the site serves as a center for search notices (with a description and photo of individuals being sought). It lets survivors declare themselves, others to recognize a person being sought, information to be posted, etc.

The French Ministry of Foreign Affairs and relevant NGOs have been asked to furnish the data they currently have.

The site is already online and its effectiveness depends on awareness of its existence, which is why it is so important to publicize it to the maximum. Please go ahead and share.
