A Website, www.csiphuket.com, has been set up in Thailand for those searching for relatives and friends killed or injured in the tsunami last Sunday.

Volunteers set up the web Saturday in a police squad room in the Phuket. Programmers and Web site developers work together to put all data available on the dead and missing in one place instead of forcing people to surf over 80 sites set up to track the tragedy.

In a round-the-clock operation, volunteers enter data from forms filled out by those looking for people at hospitals and temples being used as temporary morgues.

They have data on about 4,900 people listed as dead, missing and injured.

Photos of unidentified bodies, bloated and decomposing, are posted on the site, in the hope clothing or jewelry or other personal items pictured with the bodies can be used to identify them.

The site supports seven languages, with more to be added, the volunteer programmers said.
