Google app tracks those missing in Uttarakhand flood

Google has launched its 'Person Finder' application in India to help offer information on missing people in flood-affected areas in the country, including Uttarakhand.Google Person Finder is a web application that allows individuals to post and search for the status of relatives or friends affected by a disaster.
The Google Person Finder for 2013 Uttrakhand Floods is available HERE http://google.org/personfinder/2013-uttrakhand-floods/

The Google tool had helped people track the missing after a 8.9-magnitude earthquake that triggered 13-foot tsunami in Japan in 2011 and also during the recent Bostom Marathon bombings.

Google Person Finder, a project of the Google Crisis Response division of Google.org, was built by Google engineers in response to the January 2010 earthquake in Haiti to help those affected by the earthquake connect with their loved ones. Google Person Finder can also accept data from other similar registries and display them together at one place.
