DATA VALIDITY FOR UNIVERSAL SEARCH ENGINE

As of 2007-01-10 23:08 , the only active official site which remain active is MissingPersons.or.th which has resolved 1,471 out of 4,272 reported missing cases. Due to nature of the sites, other official sites have ceased to update:

• Disaster.go.th has 2,481 records of missing persons. The site has not been updated since 2005-09-30. -- DATA IN OUR SEARCH ENGINE
• ThaiTsunami.com has 61,504 records but with a lot of duplications. -- DATA IN OUR SEARCH ENGINE
• CSIphuket.com no longer offers a search facility. The site had become a public interface of the Thai Tsunami Victim Identification (TTVI). By the end of 2005, TTVI has closed down their Phuket center and moved identification task to Bangkok. -- DATA IN OUR SEARCH ENGINE
• PhuketITcity.com had 66,292 records (but 44,749 records had a "GoHome" status -- known to be safe -- DATA IN OUR SEARCH ENGINE
• EMS (Narenthorn Center) had 7,224 records of people treated or admitted at hospitals plus another 1,193 patients who were transferred to Bangkok -- DATA IN OUR SEARCH ENGINE

The Thai Government has adopted Interpol's Disaster Victim Identification (DVI) methodology and has been working in conjunction with international experts in this field. At this time, there is no public information how to access this information over the Internet or if there is a plan to do so. Therefore, we recommend everyone who wants to identify tsunami victims to register useful information in the MissingPersons database - giving as much detail as possible - upload pictures and dental x-ray films, etc., and work through embassies of the victims. The MissingPersons database has identified unidentified bodies based on these information.

The following engines from each individual site are provided below should you prefer.

THAITSUNAMI.COM

THIS IS THE OFFICIAL SITE. Type in less letters and leaving more field blanked tend to get better results, more tolerable to misspellings. At the same time, be kind to other people.

Click upon an underlined name to see if this is the person you are looking for. Good luck.
