|
||
> After Katrina many friends and family members have been separated and
|
||
>
|
||
> left with no clear way to find each other. Hundreds of internet web
|
||
>
|
||
> sites are gathering hundreds, and probably thousands, of entries about
|
||
>
|
||
> missing persons or persons who want to let others know they’re okay.
|
||
>
|
||
> The problem is: the data on these sites has no particular form or
|
||
>
|
||
> structure. So it’s almost impossible for people to search or match
|
||
>
|
||
> things up. Plus there are dozens of sites – making it hard for a
|
||
>
|
||
> person seeking lost loved ones to search them all.
|
||
>
|
||
> The Katrina PeopleFinder Project NEEDS YOUR HELP to enter data about
|
||
>
|
||
> missing and found people from various online sources. We’re requesting
|
||
>
|
||
> as little as an hour of your time. All you need to do is help read
|
||
>
|
||
> unstructured posts about missing or found persons, and then add the
|
||
>
|
||
> relevant data to a database through a simple online form.
