What is it
If a few blogs could contact or be the online voice for one agency or group of Relief Workers, and keep updating needs and progress on a regular basis, it might help those who wish to engage in fund raising or support, to do so more effectively.
Why is it needed
The biggest problem with national crises, be it a natural disaster or the ongoing floods, is the lack of communication. People on the ground simply don’t have the time or ability to tell the rest of the community what is needed; the rest of the community, never having been in the situation, has no idea what kind of ‘relief’ is required, often sending useless items.
We don’t need another Facebook event page where we guess what is needed – we need the real voices to be activated and represented in an organized manner.
Where is the money
No money required for the effort..
