As I read your post, I see to related requests, a request for information
regarding the application of information technology to relief efforts of
the South Asian earthquake and tsunami and a request for information more
generally regarding the interaction of information technology and disaster
relief.
Here are some more pieces to the picture of information technology and the
current tsunami disaster relief.

In addition to monetary contributions, CEMEX has undertaken several
additional initiatives to aid the relief efforts in Aceh and South
Sumatera. First, CEMEX Indonesia has designed and built the website,
www.acehcare.com, which provides updated information on news,
information, donation distribution reports and lists humanitarian
organizations receiving and distributing aid for the victims in Aceh and
South Sumatera. CEMEX updates the website regularly in coordination with
the National Coordinating Agency for Natural Disaster and refugees Relief
and relevant ministries.
