SEATTLE—October 26, 2007
In response to the Southern California wildfires, WhitePages.com has created Wildfire Alerts for listings in fire zones. Based on a person’s city, search listings now feature a Wildfire Alert graphic to aid people looking for information on friends and family affected by the disaster. For those having difficulty reaching someone in the area, WhitePages.com reminds consumers that it offers their Find Neighbors feature to aid with contacting neighbors who may have information on a loved one’s status or whereabouts. People can also search for a person’s relatives nationwide. WhitePages.com is a free, accurate resource for accessing phone and address information, and can be helpful in locating people during widespread emergencies.
WhitePages.com has also created a wildfire resources page that features Web links to disaster and emergency response information, evacuation alerts, government agencies, charitable organizations for those who want to make a donation, and important phone numbers for up-to-the minute information. The WhitePages.com wildfire resource page can be found by visiting www.whitepages.com or through www.whitepagesinc.com/calfire/.
