Sandy Search - Use the power of crowdsourcing during and after disasters

I was in Super Storm Sandy in 2012 in Connecticut, and was without power for 9 days. During the disaster, we had a very hard time discovering what services (gasoline, food, water, ice) were available.

"Waze for Services, after a disaster". It currently allows anyone (without a login) to search and report on services available in their area.
