About the Disaster Finder
If you're looking for the latest links in disaster information, the Disaster
Finder finds them for you, and even lets you preview your selections
with brief site descriptions. All sites are clickable from the Disaster
Finder's category screens. The Disaster Finder also allows you to perform quick or detailed
searches of its links database.
Disaster Finder is a service developed and maintained by the NASA
Solid Earth and Natural Hazards Program (Code YO), NASA Headquarters, Washington, D.C., USA.
This service was created for the disaster community at-large so that
the best links in disaster information could be found quickly and
easily.
Links are categorized within the Disaster Finder database according the Disaster services section of the Taxonomy of Human Services: A Conceptual Framework with Standardized Terminology and Definitions for the Field. This taxonomy provides a classification system that allows organizations maintaining human services databases to index and access community resources based on the specific types of disaster services they provide. This structure, which was developed as part of the NERIN (National Emergency Resource Information
Network) project, is used to organize the Disaster Finder's links database to valuable and timely disaster resources on the Internet and WWW.
Even though web sites constantly change, NASA is committed to
revisiting and re-evaluating sites for their usefulness to the disaster
community. You can help us keep the Disaster Finder up-to-date by
telling us about disaster sites you come across on the Net or perhaps
you would like to submit your own site.
