-Vesuvius is oriented towards multiple disasters per database, rather than a fresh instance for each disaster.  This reflects its preparedness orientation, and provides advantages for governments or organizations that have a laborious approval process for putting up new web sites or negotiating firewalls.+The Vesuvius codebase can be adopted for other purposes.  In particular, the Kilauea project re-purposed it for shelter management as part of coastal flooding preparedness.

 While the Vesuvius trunk and People Locator are not identical, there is substantial commonality.  So wiki documentation about one can be helpful for the other. While the Vesuvius trunk and People Locator are not identical, there is substantial commonality.  So wiki documentation about one can be helpful for the other.
