information/ coordination from Phuket
Hi
I am in Phuket, and working from my laptop connection, communication is still up and down and real time information is vital (posted some notes on content-wire, appeals seem to work)
online information flow by rescue and emergency services should be encouraged
Here in Phuket I am in a school where many children have lost everything, all the ones living on the beach five kms from here, we need shirts and basics for them, although relief is being organised.
in chennai, I see someone is going there, here is a link to people already operating there
see the post relayed by New Media Forum in Chennai, link below

Hi,
My friend Tushar Shah is standed in Phuket with no passport, money and clothing. He was holidaying with his wife and son and has lost his wife. If you could track him down through the Indian Embassy there and try and help him it would be great. His brother is leaving probably tonight to bring him back.
Best regards,
pranav
