MySpace Helps Warn You of Hurricanes

posted by cldnails September 05th, 2008.No Comments

MySpace is giving back to the massively huge online community by teaming with the Departmen of Homeland Security to help warn of Hurricanes and other natural disasters.  MySpace was ordered/asked by the DHS last week during Hurrican Gustav to fast track an alert system for it's users.  On Tuesday they launched software that will feed users developing information on Hurricanes.

"What you are seeing us doing with DHS and FEMA (the Federal Emergency Management Agency) is the beginning of bigger things to come in the future," MySpace chief security officer Hemanshu Nigam told AFP on Thursday.
