A collection of viewer submitted stories looking for missing love ones.<\/p><\/div>CNN’s iReport<\/strong> was made for a story like this.

Geo information is one of the newest and most powerful tools we now have. The site GeoCommons<\/strong> “delivers visual analytics through maps.” Here’s a map of Haiti earthquake data: http:\/\/maker.geocommons.com\/maps\/10987<\/a>.<\/p>\n
A group called the International Network of Crisis Mappers<\/strong> has paired up with local officials, it seems, to try to map incidents and missing people: http:\/\/haiti.ushahidi.com\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n
