Responding to the earthquake and tsunami incidents that occurred in Japan, Google launched its flagship service Google Person Finder to help finding victims of natural disasters.
Google has released a similar service to help find people lost in the event of an earthquake in Haiti and Christchurch, New Zealand.
Quoted from PC World, on Friday (March 11, 2011), Google Person Finder for Japan Earthquake/Tsunami allows users to report the presence of someone who lost in the midst of the disaster by entering data on ‘I have information about someone’ and Google will save the report.
While the person who is looking for relatives or friends who are missing can click ‘I’m looking for someone’ and enter the name of the person in question. Later, Google will match the existing data.
To facilitate the citizens of Japan, Google provides the option of Google Person Finder to display in their language, there are also options in English to allow users who do not use the Japanese language.
