A unique way to use Ushahidi in the Southeastern United States? We're really not prone to many natural disasters. Earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, and blizzards are all exceptionally rare. Combine that with are exceptional 911 service, and Ushahidi seems almost useless here. That is unless Ushahidi can actually report on a crisis that's not visible to the naked eye...
I'm not a germaphobe by any means, but I can see how it would be exceptionally useful to have everybody that has flu-like (insert whatever pandemic disease that you like instead of flu) symptoms send a simple SMS ("I think I have the flu") to Ushahidi and then for Ushahidi to work with the CDC to track the origin and likely outbreak pattern of that flu virus.
