 News &
Information resource center on web related to Disaster
Management:
A year and a half ago I stopped
the work I had been doing I for three years -- working on
better ways to use digital means to deliver the disaster
message. Digital means of communication are being used
to save lives and property. Yet, equally these means can be
used to oppress and to cause harm.
I came upon such a situation
related to the employment hiring practices, wherein
individuals were illegally being required to provide
information, so that an illegally undertaken criminal
background check could be performed. Go to http://www.disastercenter.com
