Similar to maps that Google has released in the past for places like Alberta and Moore, they’ve just published a Crisis Response map to assist with the flooding in Boulder, Colorado.
You can view the map online here, or grab this KML file to view much of the data inside of Google Earth.
The map includes information about area shelters, road closures, weather advisories and more.
If you’re in or near the affected area, this is a valuable resource to have access to. You’re also encouraged to visit the Boulder Office of Emergency Management, City of Longmont Emergency Information and the Colorado Department of Transportation sites for additional information.
The team behind Google.org does some amazing work, and I was fortunate enough to meet a few of the people behind it when I was at the Where Conference last year. Learning more about what they do was eye-opening, and they continue to release valuable resources like the one we’re showing you today.
