SISMO MX Platform: Centre for Instant Responses for Citizens

The SISMO MX platform: ?Centre for Instant Responses for Citizens? was developed during the Hackathon "Sismo MX" organized by Codeando México, an organization of civic innovation, with the aim of collaboratively coding, mapping and providing information for those who were affected by the Central Mexico Earthquake earthquake of September 19th. This innovation provides a space where citizens can write and consult the names of those who have been rescued, their age, and their location. In addition, look for those who have disappeared or provide new information through Google's Person Finder; and access a collaborative map of shelters and help centers, and add new ones. Finally, the platform provides a database of relevant information for survivors and volunteers.
