Gigahertz Inc. (Oswego, New York) has announced the launch of http://www.CrisisSearch.com ("Crisis' Search"), the Internet search engine founded on a simple helpful and humanitarian concept — compile a searchable database of disaster related links ranging from government programs to web "blogs" giving evacuation hints and tips so anyone can search to find the help they need in times of crisis.The founder created this web portal as he saw that there are many helping crisis websites out there that need to be pulled together to cater to the need of victims of Katrina Hurricane to find ways to connect to lost loved ones or financial relief help. Now with the onslaught of hurricane Rita, people are needing to find ways to prepare for the storm, evacuation routes, where to go for shelters, satellite imagery maps, or tips for getting your home ready for tropical storms. Seems the launch of CrisisSearch is especially timely since it will not only help organizations focused on Hurricane Katrina freely promote their groups, but it is invaluable to the hundreds of thousands of smaller causes that often see shortages in help or information during these difficult times.
If your company has construction service and products (fee or free) to assist in any type of disaster relief efforts, click here to be included in our Crisis Search Engine. The Crisis Search Engine is an online service to connect firms and organizations that can assist with the relief efforts and people in need of construction services throughout the Gulf States region or victims of other disasters. The service is part of a larger concentrated relief effort Gigahertz Inc. has launched to serve the extraordinary demand for information among construction industry professionals in the Gulf States region as they begin to recover from Hurricane Katrina. In print, online and on the ground in affected areas of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama, Gigahertz Inc. news and data resources are being deployed to connect architects, engineers, contractors and property owners with the resources they will need to get the job done.
CrisisSearch is hoping for assistance with contributing good and trusted web sites to the database of crisis related web sites (you will be helping many people by submitting just one single link). Types of sites needed are anything relating to evacuating, disaster and recovery (beware of scam donation sites). Each web page that is submitted to CrisisSearch will be "crawled" for meta tags and all text from the main page is "scraped" and "cached" for more keywords. Once a site is submitted, it must be approved before it will available in the search results to allow CrisisSearch to rid of content spam and unrelated data. So far there have been almost 1,500 sites submitted to the database by the founder, yet there are tens of thousands of helpful sites to gather yet, he needs your help (it takes about 2 minutes to submit a site, but please make sure the site is not already there with the advanced search in the URL field).
Gigahertz Inc. has been creating specific topic search engines since 2000. One of their most interesting niche portal is http://www.SpareSomeChange.com where homeless people can logon VIA local libraries for help and information. We expect to see more non-profit search engines from this dedicated web based corporation.
