(ABC7)  —&nbsp;</span><p><em>"Need immediate help, a wheelchair-bound girl with cerebral palsy needs rescue."</em></p><p><em>"Dad, fragile, cancer alone, in the house."</em></p><p><em>"Please send a rescue team, we have tried every phone in your broadcast, and no one answers."</em></p><p>It was desperate tweets like these, that prompted a young high-tech couple from the DMV to take action.</p><p>"The sheer number of requests was overwhelming," says Michelle Hansen. “I was crying as I was compiling that list.”</p><p>Hansen, a product manager, and her husband Mathias, a software engineer, kept watch on Twitter as Houston residents tweeted out urgent messages and their home addresses.</p><p>Why not, the Hansens thought, create a website with a digital map showing where those people are stranded by the flooding?</p><p>"People were unable to get through to 911, because the phone lines are jammed, so many people calling," Hansen says.</p><p>Adding to the problem, about 7,800 cell towers in the area are either damaged or destroyed by Tropical Storm Harvey.</p><p>Some 1,300 of those Twitter distress calls came with addresses attached.</p><p><sd-embed   class="sd-embedded-media" data-embed-file="902618232779104259" data-embed-type="twitter" contenteditable="false"></sd-embed></p><p>The Hansons created ‘<a  href="http://harvey.geocod.io" target="_blank">Geocodio</a>,' a service which converts addresses into longitude and latitude coordinates.</p><p>The program puts all the information into one place and creates a map.</p><p>The program can also locate key words like ‘street’, ‘Houston’, or ‘Zip Code’ to help find addresses.</p><p>Then that information can be shared with the Red Cross and first responders.</p><p>“We can then get the full location where someone is tweeting from,” Hansen says. “Put that on a map so that first responders like the Cajun Navy and others can see very clearly where people need to be rescued.”</p><p>The map also can show rescue crews the location of large numbers of stranded people.</p><p>“Everything is clustered into points,” Mathias Hansen explains. “So you can actually see what areas are most affected. What areas where people are mostly asking for help.”</p><p>The Hansens knew they were likely aiding hundreds of people.</p><p>What they didn’t know, at least initially, is that they were helping a friend in the District whose grandmother hadn’t been heard from.</p><p>"The phone lines were down, 911 wasn't picking up,” Jonathan Ewing says. “My family in Texas was anxious.”</p><p>Ewing’s grandmother Marina, is in her 80s, and family members were pretty sure her nursing home had flooded.</p><p>An uncle who drove through the flooded Houston streets found her safe--- but for now, both are marooned inside the building.</p><p>Still for Ewing, ‘Geocodio’ was a confidence-booster, after a ravaging storm.</p><p>“He told me when he saw the address show up on the map, it gave him hope, that somebody could go and rescue her,” Michelle Hansen says.</p><p>Hundreds of miles from the destruction of Harvey, the Hansens and Ewing believe the program is making a difference.</p><p>“When you’re able to put everything into an emotionless situation like a map, I imagine it has to be a huge benefit to first responders in the area,” Ewing adds.</p><p>A high-tech mapping program that’s saving time, and perhaps lives.</p><p>“We're working with other groups now to track down the status of those requests and see if people are getting rescued,” Michelle Hansen says. “It's the first time I started crying as I was creating something, it was just so overwhelming to see the amount of need."</p></div></div><div id="imgModal" class="modal fade"><div class="modal-dialog"><div class="modal-content"><div class="modal-body"><h2 id="sd-pop-up-title"></h2><div id="sd-pop-up-player"></div><div class="row"><button type="button" data-dismiss="modal" aria-label="Close" style="margin: 5px 5px -5px;" class="close">close<i class="fa fa-close"></i></button></div></div></div></div></div><script>sinclairDigital.dependencies.require([],[
