[liberationtech] Jakarta Flooding

[Yosem Companys]

From: la <la at arlduc.org>

 The OpenIR team is currently in Jakarta to conduct usability studies, and
there is unusually intense flooding:
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887323468604578246740669413194.html

So we've updated our R&D Jakarta Ushahidi deployment so that it can be
actively used. We are also scraping tweets with the keyword "banjir"
(flood): http://openir.media.mit.edu/hackathon/Ushahidi/index.php/

If you are in or know anyone in Jakarta, please spread the word. The data
from this deployment will be used to validate our infrared risk indexing
algorithms (see riskmap in link above).

Thank you,
Arlene
