Chile Earthquake: Google Launches Person Finder
A few days ago Chile suffered one of the worst earthquakes in the history of the world, reaching 8.3 of Richter scale. With a large number of missing persons, desperation appears as the common feeling for thousands and thousands of families today; Google offers for those a new service: Person Finder.
The service is quite simple, it does not need all that much for people that are looking for answers right now; contains two main options: “I’m looking for someone” and “I have information for someone”; where you can enter the name of the person you are looking or trying to help. Already contains over 33500 of records loaded.
There’s an important disclaimer saying that Google is not reviewing or verifying the accuracy of this data; which in a state of emergency like this we shouldn’t expect that people will use this as some kind of scam.
The number of casualties now is over 700; and the missing persons continue to grow every minute; so I salute the people and companies who are helping in this catastrophe and providing any type of assistance.
