AlertNet

Subs and reporters covering fast breaking international disasters - earthquakes, hurricanes, tsunami, fires - need to know about AlertNet a not-for-profit early warning site. It uses satellite pictures and other information to give the fastest and latest information and maps of what’s going on. Only aid organisations are allowed to subscribe - and you must subscribe to use it - but they do let some journalists in, particularly if their bosses throw money at it. AlertNet is funded by Reuters Foundation.
