Following the Jan. 12 earthquake in Haiti, people around the world contributed an incredible outpouring of support for the people of Haiti. Now, as that support expands to Chile, it is evident that we are participating in a game changing moment.
What is Ushahidi? Net puts Kenya at centre of Chile rescue efforts. Kenya is nearly 12,000km (8,000 miles) from Chile and is therefore perhaps not an obvious place from which to try to coordinate the earthquake relief efforts.
And yet, on Saturday, within an hour of the massive quake, volunteers at a crisis group called Ushahidi sprang into action. "All we need is a computer and a fast internet connection," said Erik Hersman, one of the team of volunteers based in Nairobi. Ushahidi is an online mapping tool that can be used to collect and plot reports coming in from citizens via e-mail, SMS or even Twitter. Messages plotted on Ushahidi's map of Chile already include: "Send help. I'm stuck under a building with my child. The intention is that emergency services can then use that information to target their efforts. "We aggregate the citizen data and visualise it so that it can be used more easily," said Mr Hersman, who is just one of a team that spans Malawi, Uganda, Ghana, South Africa and the US.

"We expect to see an upsurge in volcanic activity over the next 12 months," says David Pyle, a volcanologist at the University of Oxford. Charles Darwin was among the first people to suggest a link between large earthquakes and increased volcanic activity. In his records, he notes that a large earthquake off Chile's coastline in February 1835 appeared to resurrect previously inactive volcanoes, and cause active ones to increase their eruption rates. Last year, Pyle and his colleagues confirmed that this was a real effect in Chile, showing that increases in volcanic activity have occurred following other large earthquakes along its coastline. Last week's earthquake occurred on the same section of fault that caused the earthquake Darwin observed in 1835. Pyle stresses that the risk to local people from this extra volcanism is likely to be minimal. Resources for Chile earthquake response. After hearing of the devastatingly powerful 8.8 magnitude earthquake that struck Chile overnight, we began to mobilize several teams to see what Google resources could help with disaster response.

Earthquake also shifted other parts of South America Scientists have credited the quake with shifting the Earth's axis Despite deaths, experts see opportunities to gain valuable information in the aftermath (CNN) -- The magnitude-8.8 earthquake that rocked the west coast of Chile last month was violent enough to move the city of Concepcion at least 10 feet to the west and the capital, Santiago, about 11 inches to the west-southwest, researchers said.
The quake also shifted other parts of South America, as far apart as the Falkland Islands and Fortaleza, Brazil. The results were reached via global positioning satellite measurements taken before and after the February 27 quake by teams from The Ohio State University, the University of Hawaii, the University of Memphis and the California Institute of Technology, as well as agencies across South America.
