I'd suggest starting this as a group (e.g. "emergencydata") on the http://theDataHub.org. If you're happy with this as a starting point please mark this response as accepted so the idea is 'closed' :-)

This is a great, easy to implement suggestion. Thanks Rufus.

Great to hear Tim. If going ahead with this (which I'd strongly support :-)) suggest booting the group, adding a description and a few datasets and then writing a blog post announcing the idea and calling for collaborators ...
