關注 relief.asia

Relief.Asia was developed in the wake of the Myanmar Cyclone and Sichuan Earthquake Disaster that tore through the region in May, 2008. The website was deployed as a tool and platform to drive awareness and community contribution towards the rebuilding of nature-savaged regions such as Myanmar (also known as Burma) and Sichuan, through the application of Information Technology.

The Relief.Asia initiative was spearheaded by a number of Asian organisations including DotAsia, Internet Society Hong Kong (ISOC HK), The Professional Commons, Asia Pacific Networking Group (APNG), intERLab of Asian Institute of Technology, Myanmar Egress, APNIC, and Museum of World Religions, amongst others.

In the wake of the disasters, Relief.Asia will continue to coordinate efforts from the Internet community around Asia and have deployed a web-based disaster management tool for relief efforts in Myanmar and Sichuan, and is in the process of deploying an emergency mobile network infrastructure for the hard hit areas which will assist in relief efforts.
