Asia Earthquake and Tsunamis: Blogs a platform to make a difference

Dina Mehta

Worldchanger Dina Mehta writes from Mumbai: It's been a strange two-three days: much shock and horror about the devastating earthquake and tsunamis, much helplessness too -- and a desire to do something, as the reports just keep on pouring in with more and more horrible news. I was speaking with a friend earlier, when I said I just feel like packing a bag and going off to the disaster areas to volunteer to help. I know thats not practical. Then I got involved in two community projects...

Tsunami Summary, Day Two

Jon Lebkowsky

Again, we're going to update this page throughout the day with news and information related to the earthquakes and tsunamis in South and South-East Asia. If you have information we should include, please send us a suggestion. First of all, if you're looking for news on how to help, your first stop should be TsunamiHelp (full disclosure: Worldchangers Dina Mehta and Rohit Gupta are part of that team). As of 6:00 a.m. pacific time, the confirmed death toll was 36,946, with officials fearing...

Covering the Asian Tsunami: Will U.S. News Media Do It Right?

Emily Gertz

Over at Poynter Online, columnist Jill Geisler is challenging American news editors and journalists to report on the Asian tsunami with the seriousness, depth, focus and long-term attention that it demands and deserves. Just a few of her well-aimed questions: Will this story get as much coverage as the Scott Peterson case?  Will U.S. media invest its mighty resources into a story that is far from home, affects mostly people of other nations, and is relentlessly painful to witness? Will...

AfH/ Worldchanging Reconstruction Fund -- Please Consider a Donation

Alex Steffen

We are formally teaming up with Architecture for Humanity to promote the Architecture for Humanity/ Worldchanging Tsunami Reconstruction Appeal. AfH has a long, honored tradition of doing astoundingly cutting-edge work. They will be applying 100% of the money raised for this project to the reconstruction itself, with zero overhead costs. Please consider making a donation. We'd like to raise US$10,000. That would be enough to make a concrete impact in the lives of a number of people: to, for...

Tsunami in Southeast Asia: A Summary Report

Jon Lebkowsky

By Rohit Gupta, Jon Lebkowsky, and Dina Mehta. This summary post is a living document, expect regular updates. (For the latest, check the front page.) At around 7AM last Sunday a rupture occurred along an undersea fault line where the Burma and India plates converge, resulting in a magnitude 9.0 earthquake, the fifth largest since scientists started recording and tracking the magnitude of earthquakes in 1899. It was the second large earthquake in the area within a week, the first being a...

Tsunami Animation and Information

Jamais Cascio

The US Geological Survey has a link to an animation of the course of yesterday's Indian Ocean tsunami created by Japan's National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (650K download). Each frame is a ten-minute interval; the whole thing covers the first 180 minutes of the tsunami. It's a vivid demonstration of how long it takes for a tsunami to travel -- and why early warning systems can be so valuable. The International Coordination Group for the Tsunami Warning System in...

Worldchanging responses to the Tsunami Disasters

WorldChanging Team

The tragedy in Asia has touched many of us deeply. You might be asking yourself, "What can I do?" We can't claim special insight into this relief effort, but Worldchanging folks and our allies are involved in a bunch of good efforts. Rohit and Dina helped get Tsunami Help going. Also known as "The South-East Asia Earthquake and Tsunami" page, it has become the best clearing house to be found on the web for information on how to give to relief efforts. One thing everyone can do is spread the...

Kanyakumari Collaborates

Rohit Gupta

UPDATE: For more information on the tsunami and recovery efforts, go to the Worldchanging main page While we face a tough time ahead, I am glad that some WorldChanging stories can be reported, even in the face of the tsunami tragedy. The picture is taken from the southernmost tip of India, where until today there were hundreds of tourists trapped at the Vivekananda Rock Memorial, off the coast of Kanyakumari district. In an amazing display of humanitarian collaboration and bravery, the...
