The Crisis Response Sandy Dashboard lets you click and add or delete items from the map. A fabulous quick reference! Keep it up on your computer until Sandy is only a memory!!!!

For those of you not familiar with Google’s disaster passion – you have got to check out the Google Crisis Response Project.  They have been responding to natural disasters since Hurricane Katrina in 2005 by making information such as storm paths, shelter locations, emergency numbers, and donation opportunities easily accessible. After all, that got the maps, the tools and the Web horsepower!

The Google Crisis Response maps rock (as we say here in California)!!!!
