http://ingeniousity.netThe problem with dark sites is that nobody knows they are there until it's too late. And when you find them, you're not familiar with them so they have to follow a fairly simple format - like a brochure. All the information flows in one direction.
My new site, still under development, contains many tools that can be used in an emergency. By cultivating a large member base during normal times, it is possible to build familiarity with all sorts of tools that will be useful in an emergency.
Obviously, the wiki will be an important source of information. A discussion forum is an important place to ask questions and get answers from other members of the community. Geographical distirbution of resources and problems can be plotted using the Ushahidi feature, and responses can be managed using the projects tool.
Using this combination, anyone visiting this site can not only get general information; they can also report what is going on, find out what is going on, find out what needs to be done, keep track of what is being done, request help, offer help, share resources, find out where the resources are, and invent other ways to solve their problems.
