We’ve posted a few times (April 28, April 30) with imagery from the massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Now Google has published an official “crisis response” page for the oil spill, highlighting a lot of different resources and information.
These resources include a variety of satellite images, boom placement, fishing closures and all of kinds of other information about the spill. In addition, they offer a variety of links to places where you can offer your time or resources to aid in the effort.
Check it all out on the Google crisis response – Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill site.
