The Fordham Center on Law and Information Policy at Fordham Law School has teamed up with the Commons Lab of the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars to work on a project to address privacy concerns that stem from efforts to locate missing persons during national disasters.
The Privacy and Missing Persons in Natural Disasters Project is part of an effort led by the Missing Persons Community of Interest, which is trying to enhance searches for missing persons by bringing together technologies and individuals from local disaster management, humanitarian relief organizations, private technology companies and non-profits.
