What would have happened if the victims of the Twin Towers on September
11 had access to the technology like Ushahidi. Even Twitter. This got
me thinking. What if something like that were to happen again? And how
could Usahhidi become beneficial?
I think if there were a situation where there were thousands of people
trapped in a building, it would be beneficial if the information flow
came to the victims as well as from the victims. For example, if we had
the capability of sending out emergency instructions to people inside
the building based on the damage of the building and what to do next.
But as far as what data to track, I think we could create an intricate
system of monitoring people’s health through Ushahidi. Authorities
could use this information to priortitize and to prepare the necessary
tools to relieve the situation.
