A crash course in changing the world.
Ushahidi would be a great tool for the people of Ojai. Forest fires, earthquakes and floods have been somewhat frequent over the last ten years. Floods have demolished people's house and blocked all roads going into and out of Ojai. This is a great example of how Ushahidi could be used in Ojai. When one's house is flooded, they can send out an SMS message to Ushahidi, so either someone nearby or the fire department can instantly assist them or at least transport them to safety. If all roads are blocked, Ushahidi lets services to helicopter in food, but to be honest I hope that soon there will be enough local farms and food for Ojai to be able to sustain itself. Ushahidi would also be great way to let people know where fires are and show who needs help or possibly who's house is aflame. I hope Ushahidi will become Global soon for it is an extraordinary invention that is innovative, helps save lives and infrastructure and most importantly, keeps the public informed.
