The danger with this, particularly in economically poor countries, would be that a large number of the affected would not have access to Web2.0 tools. The emergency responders will naturally want to focus on 'known' areas first - in this case the ones they've received calls or SOS's from, and potentially poorer areas would not receive attention until later. This could mean life or death to some of those people, not to mention accusations of discrimination. I'm not saying the technology usage is bad - it is great! But it should be combined with the existing tools/plans in a way that doesn't give these victims more weight than others.
