Google Launches Chile Earthquake Person Finder

08
A powerful 8.8 magnitude earthquake devastated Chile early Saturday and triggered a tsunami that is threatening every nation around the Pacific Ocean. To aid in people reuniting each other, Google today launched a person finder to quickly connect those looking for missing people in Chile and those who have information. Link is below.

The simple interface lets you choose between two options — “I’m looking for someone” and “I have information about someone,” then either query the database or enter new information. At the time of writing, the Person Finder app has 3,100 records.

The Person Finder is the same app used following the Haiti earthquake. We hope to see other tech companies stepping up to provide tools to assist people in Chile.

Below are some early images captures through people camera phones and posted on social media outlets.

    I would like to say that it is nice to know that somebody raked up this. Once I had a hard time finding similar stuff in another place.
