CrisisWire – Your Source For Disaster News

This item was filled under [ Directory, Innovation ]

CrisisWire is a brand new aggregator of information about a crisis or a disaster. CrisisWire is founded by volunteers from RefreshSD, a web community in San Diego, CA; in October, 2008. CrisisWire uses many sources, including Google Maps, Twitter, Flicker, news sites and blogs. Crisis has a speed advantage which main stream media doesn’t have.  In their own words:

CrisisWire depends on citizen journalists as well as traditional media outlets. The information is not curated, so you must evaluate its worth or accuracy for yourself.

Right now it’s the fire season in California and CrisisWire has gathered all the content across the web about Santa Barbara Fire. I think CrisisWire is a content agregator about an innovative – niche subject will be very succesful, but home page needs some improvement.
