CrisisWire – Your Source For Disaster News
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.

Thanks for the post and critique. We released the same day those fires started, so we haven’t really tried to work on the home page’s usability quite yet. We’re always working on it to make it better, so we’ll take that feedback as well.
Cheers.
Nate, i want to thank you and your team, because this is a social responsible work, too. I believe you’ll improve the design to the best.
