Pakistan Earthquake: Google launches Person Finder to facilitate rescue

Internet search giant has launched Person
Finder tool ( https://google.org/personfinder/2015-south-asia-
earthquake/ ) to facilitate search and rescue operations in the wake
of massive 8.1 earthquake hitting northern and north western
Pakistan, Afghanistan and parts of India.
The simple Person Finder tool lets anyone search or add
information about missing persons. If a person is looking for
someone missing they can enter their name and the search results
will be from the information added specifically for this event.
Similarly, if anyone has information on anyone’s whereabouts, they
can add it using this tool.
Although Google says it doesn’t verify authenticity of information
added, it is evident that technology has helped in previous events
like this one, especially during the Nepal earthquake earlier this
year.
