Google, the world’s top search engine has launched a People Finder tool to help the victims of earthquake in Himalayan Kingdom of Nepal. The web application is aimed to help people gather and relay information about those affected by the devastation.
The web application is aimed at helping individuals to post details of and search for the status of family members or friends affected by the earthquake.
The application has two boxes: one, ‘I’m looking for someone’; and two, ‘I have information about someone’.
For those who are looking for someone trapped or lost in the disaster, they can click on ‘I’m looking for someone’ and type in his/her name.
Similarly, if an individual wants his relatives or friends to know that he is safe, or if he has heard from someone or about someone stuck in the disaster affected area, then he can share the information through ‘I have information about someone’.
