Google Crisis Map for Tornado in Moore, Oklahoma

[Christiaan Adams]

Hi CrisisMappers & Crisiscommons, 

FYI that we have a crisismap available with some data for the Tornado response in Oklahoma:

http://google.org/crisismap/2013-oklahoma-tornado

It includes shelter info, school & church closings, NOAA/NWS preliminary damage assessments, and other layers.  It also includes a pre-storm satellite image acquired 4/29 by Astrium.  You can also access that post-storm imagery as a KML for Google Earth - download this kml.  We hope to have the post-storm images from GeoEye-1 available soon.  

Feel free to share, embed, or mashup & publish your own.  

Hope it's useful, -Christiaan

Christiaan,

Thanks for sharing that, it's an excellent resource.

We've had a team on the ground since Wednesday and are busy building internet access and wifi networks across the affected area.

I've also set up a Crowdmap to visualise locations with public wifi access.

It would be great if that data can be included in the Google Crisismap but I don't know how to do this.

Regards, Evert Bopp.

Hi Evret,  

The easiest way provide a dataset we can add to the map is to provide a KML feed, or some other format we can easily use (GeoRSS, CSV, etc.).  Also helps if it's clearly marked as being released to the public domain, otherwise we're required to get a license agreement.
