Residents in Hong Kong have set up a crowdsourced app to keep track of who's safe and who remains missing following the deadly fire that ripped through a residential complex.
The website appears to list all the apartments in the Wang Fuk Court high-rises, where dozens of people have died and hundreds remain missing from the devastating overnight blaze.
The rooms are marked either green, to signify the residents are safe, or red, indicating the occupants are still missing and require assistance, with those reports based on information submitted to the site's administrators through a series of forms and spreadsheets.

According to the site, there are more than 100 apartments whose residents remain unaccounted for, as of 11:30am (AEDT), the bulk of whom are in building blocks E and F.
While many of the entries are short and provide little information, some come with more detailed messages about who is missing.
"A 41-year-old man went missing at 16:45," one reads, according to a translation of the message.
"His last message was that he was trapped in (a) stairwell."

Many of the "SOS" entries suggest that a significant number of those who remain missing are elderly residents.
"Three elderly people, one with dementia and another with a back problem, have been missing for nine hours," one reads.
"Grandma Yang has been out of contact since the afternoon," says another.
Hong Kong authorities have arrested three people on suspicion of manslaughter in relation to the fire.
