The Sahana Software Foundation have a site up to support the Floods Response
in Pakistan:
http://pakistan.sahanafoundation.org
Although there are a number of information management tools providing
resources on the Pakistan Flood Response, Sahana specialises in providing
open data which means that instead of just providing narrative documents
which need to be manually searched for the required data, it can provide the
raw data, in various formats, including on maps, to help the relief efforts
and longer term recovery. Sahana is built on an open source Rapid
Application Development framework and supported by a global community of
volunteers, which means that new features can quickly developed in response
to changing requirements on-the-ground.
For more information on how you can either user Sahana or help contribute to
the effort, please visit:
