New disaster website provides the latest news on Hurricane Bill as it nears the U.S. East Coast
NEW YORK, Aug. 21, 2009 — Tropical storm activity has taken off the last few days … and just in time for coastal residents, businesses and tourists, there is a new website to provide current hurricane news and information. Disaster Updates ) consolidates hurricane and other disaster news for quick and easy reference 24/7.
"The website provides more than just disaster news; it also provides a variety of helpful web-based tools," stated website spokesperson Dave Miller.
Miller provides an example of how the Disaster Updates portal can help a family multi-task during a disaster emergency:
With this website parents can have their kids track an approaching hurricane with the site's hurricane reports and storm tracking maps while mom and dad learn how to protect their family, pets and property from the coming storm and review possible hurricane evacuation routes; then, after hurricane landfall, they can file their FEMA disaster application online.
"Existing web resources were either too specialized or too complex for the average homeowner or businessperson in need of quick disaster information. To this end, the website was specifically designed to be more useful by individuals, families and businesses reacting to a disaster emergency," said Miller.
As the name implies, Disaster Updates is not just for hurricanes, but for many types of disasters. Consider it a "disaster information portal" or a "disaster directory" because it consolidates news and information on many natural and man-made disasters, such as earthquakes, tsunamis, wildfires, floods, pandemic flu, terrorism, accidents, and more.
For the latest news on Hurricane Bill … or other disaster news … you can get help 24/7 at Disaster Updates.
