"Technology can be part of the solution to getting supplies and aid to victims following a disaster. Recent examples like risepak.com -- a portal that provided village-level information to coordinate relief after the 2005 Pakistan earthquake -- are testaments to the viability and value of this concept. A Web-based data portal that combines the global knowledge network with local and community information can be of immense value."
