OSS & Disasters

If bloody tragedy in the form of an earthquake strike, along with the recent tsunamis in Asia, why in the hell must there be evil folk that rape ladies? Especially in Asian communities where its the victim that gets a stigma around her. Sigh. Good news is at AsiaSource, we’re going to try and run a track on ICT and Disasters. How can Linux help in a disaster situation – terrorism, natural disasters like earthquakes, flooding, tsunamis, etc… ?

Update: Seems Slashdot ran a feature on it recently

  1. It’s actually even worse than that.

    There have been reports of paedophiles attempting to abduct recently orphaned children in the confusion.

    There was also a report on the Gold Coast of Australia last night where an organised gang of kids stole $4000 worth of donations for the appeal from a shop. One shop assistant had only (30 minutes earlier) donated half of her weekly wages into that.
