| Students Use Technology to Help Earthquake Victims in Chile |
 |
A group of SIPA students is taking the lead in a project to guide relief efforts in Chile. They are coordinating a crisis mapping Web site for Ushahidi, which gathers information submitted via email, text message and social media.
"The idea behind the site is to provide as much information as possible to organizations in the field and to people in Chile," said Anahi Ayala Iacucci (MIA '10) "We put available information onto a map that anyone can access."
