Forward of interest: Startup Website Offers Disaster Updates
DisasterUpdates.com, as the domain name suggests, is a startup website that offers disaster updates. Dave Miller, a spokesman for the website, believes that this website offers disaster updates in an easy to use format.
Said Miller: "Existing web resources were either too specialized or too complex for the average homeowner or businessperson in need of quick disaster information. To this end, the website was specifically designed to be more useful by individuals, families and businesses reacting to a disaster emergency."
While the website was launched during the beginning of hurricane season, it covers other tyeps of disasters such as floods, pandemic flu, wildfires, earthquakes and tsunamis.
Information that can be found on this startup site includes everything from evacuation routes to links to the online FEMA disaster application. While the website looks like it can still use some work, this is the type of niche website that are being launched left and right.
