Efficiency in technology | SeacoastOnline.com: "PORTSMOUTH — If you take the idea of Twitter with instant communication and then package it into a handheld device that could save lives in a time of desperation, you would have the Rapid Data Management System, created by Global Relief Technologies.
The company hosted seven American Red Cross staffers at Pease International Tradeport Monday and Tuesday at a workshop that taught them how to use the system to assess damage during and after disasters. So far, the Red Cross has used the RDMS while working with hurricanes Dolly, Ike and Gustave, and it has made 70,000 damage assessments over two years."
