Update 12 September - Crisis Map: To further aid rescue efforts in Jammu and Kashmir, we've just launched a
Crisis Map with updated satellite imagery showing the incredible extent of the flooding. Our hope is that this information will help rescue agencies, volunteers and others involved in rescue efforts respond to the crisis by identifying flood zones, evacuation routes and weather conditions.

Google Person Finder in India to help gather and relay information for those affected by the devastating floods in the state of Jammu and Kashmir - the worst in 60 years. It is available in

Person Finder can be accessed below or at:
google.org/personfinder/2014-jammu-kashmir-floods
If you do not have web access, you can request information via SMS by sending the message “Search”, followed by the person’s name i.e. “Search <name>"
, to the number 9773300000. For example, if you are searching for Rohan Gupta, send the message “Search Rohan Gupta”.
The Person Finder tool can also be embedded on any website using the following HTML code:

width=400 height=300 frameborder=0
style="border: dashed 2px #77c"></iframe>
We launched this tool, as we've done in other disasters, to allow individuals to post the details of, and search for the status of, family members or friends affected by this disaster. If you’re worried about someone in the disaster affected area, then click on “I’m Looking for Someone” and type in their name. If you want to let people know you’re safe, or if you have heard from someone in the disaster affected area, then click on “I have information about someone” and put in their names and details. As the number of names and records increases, the tool will make it easier for those who are safe to pass on their status to people worried about them.
