Slidell Help

My wife's father used to live in Slidell, Louisiana. So sometime in the past couple years I found a blog reader and blogger named Brian Oberkirch who lived in Slidell. We exchanged an email about Slidell and some cool things I'd done there years ago.

Slidell is a mess, like most of the area in and around New Orleans and Biloxi. And Brian is using blogging to try and help.

He's created the Slidell Hurricane Damage Blog and it posting info and pictures on it. If you have a friend, loved one, etc in Slidell and are trying to find them, it's a great place to go for information.

There is a cool Google map of locations in and around the devastated area and lots of video and photos.

But the biggest problem Brian has is he needs to harvest the comments that people are leaving in Wordpress like this one:

Looking for Richar, DAvid and Linda Mejias. They were in the Old Town area off of Cousin St. at 928 Fairbanks. If you have info please call 225/978-3780 or 985/707-3511.

Apparently, he's got hundreds of requests like this trapped in the comments.

I can't help him with WordPress, but someone can. If you are that someone, he's [brian@lightbox5.com].

Right. I'm thinking that if I can dynamically scoop out these types of comment postings, represent them somewhere to make them more indexable, browsable, taggable, etc., then I can syndicate them to other survivor sites, make them more visible off on another page on the Slidell damage blog, etc. As is, I feel like I'm not helping these people get the information they need.

Can't Google spare a few engineers to develop a quick 'people-finder' app and put it on their home page? Zillions of sites would link to it instantly, and all these poor people leaving these 'help me find' messages on all these little sites would at least have one simple central place to take care of this one-of-a-million of their current worries. Come on Google (or yahoo, or Microsoft) - step up.

I know Craigslist is being used heavily for this - but we need one central source that everyone knows about. Sadly, this isn't the first time we've needed this, and it probably won't be the last.

I made the decision to go public with TEDSTOCK, and it will be a charitable event raising funds for this disaster, and autism awareness. We should chat off line about it.

Fred, I set up a wiki for Slidell:

Pass the word. Registry for survivors and friends and family searching for information.

"The search side of the site allows for a specific pinpoint search for a person by household rather than generic searches by city. All the search requires is the person’s telephone number from before the disaster. Family and friends searching for the same person can communicate with each other through the message board tied to that phone number." (from http://www.managementblog.org)

New resource:

Feeds of the NOLA.com web forums were people are posting up to the minute information. Better than CNN!
