With the recent devastation caused to sea life due to the BP oil spillage in the Gulf of Mexico on April 20th, Crisis Commons<\/a> have took it upon themselves to setup a mobile-based data sharing initiative to hopefully further prevent disasters from happening like this in the future. <\/p>\n

A free app, Oil Reporter for iPhone allows users to immediately report an oil spillage from their current location to the necessary authorities. <\/p>\n

The app provides a series of questions such as “What Do You See?”<\/em>, the ability to attach a photo or video (if you have a 3GS)<\/em> to your submission, and provides a 1-10 scale at which you can describe the level of destruction and spread of the oil spillage – 1 being open water, 10 being very think. <\/p>\n

The last button on the form allows you to mark the situation as “Urgent,” ensuring you will get a response in a short period of time.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Alongside the app providing a way to get the message out, it also allows you to track oil-related conversation on social network @Twitter. <\/p>\n

While it make seem we’re shouting “Save the Whales!,”<\/em> this in our opinion is a very handy app, one which we think, especially being FREE, should reside in everyone’s app library in case of an emergency.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
