About an Internet photo morgue for victim identification

In case no one else has suggested this yet, it would be a good policy in the event of large scale natural disasters or other agents of mass human loss of life to have municipalities photograph the face of every casualty before burial and post it on a central global internet web page to help expedite the identitification of the victims. I know that Polaroid seems to have a brilliant new camera that uploads digital photos via telephone line-so a pc isn’t necessary. It would be a fine thing if someone could provide those cameras in quantity to susceptible locales.
