AlertMap has been activated in response to the M 9.0 earthquake and tsunami that hit the East Coast of Japan on March 11, 2011.
AlertMap is a free real-time communication app that allows users to easily post geo-tagged reports, pictures, and video clips from the earthquake area, for everyone in the world to see.
It is helpful for those in affected areas of Japan to have access to real-time data, whether it is pictures of damage or unidentified people. By facilitating the direct flow of real-time information, it is our hope that AlertMap will help in the recovery effort, and provide a new and efficient means of communication when traditional channels are stressed or lacking.
