Internet-enabled responses to Qinghai earthquake

In the wake of the earthquake that struck Yushu, Qinghai Province, on Wednesday morning (April 14), how are organizations utilizing the internet in their response to the crisis? Here are a few that I am aware of so far:

  • Google has set up a crisis response page with a map, a "person finder" database, and online donations to three international NGOs.
  • Local organization Gesanghua, which we wrote about only last week, have started an appeal on their website, and have already raised CNY 700,000 in donations.
  • An foreign organization working in the area called Plateau Perspectives has very quickly set up a website at YushuEarthquakeRelief.com (note that there appear to be some problems accessing this website from inside China at the moment).
  • Another foreign organization called Machik has also started an appeal, and has just added a project to the online philanthropy website GlobalGiving.org (which is currently featuring it on the homepage).
