Emergency Information Service (EIS)

It is now recognized that in the aftermath of a natural disaster, information is as critical to the response as food, water, or shelter. The Thomson-Reuters Foundation and InSTEDD have begun collaborating on a free and open source software platform that will empower local media organizations to participate effectively in crisis communications as never before, linking journalists, responders, and ordinary citizens in a seamless flow of timely, relevant and credible information. We now have a working prototype, but we need your help and support to make EIS a success!
