I've said in the past, over a few beers, that instead of just switching the doodle over, google should integrate disaster images and video into google maps and allow people to see the damage first hand. The effect of spatializing this information is truly profound. I did not understand katrina until I visited the 9th ward and saw the damage myself.
I've also said over beers that we need a system to aggregate disaster information. In a situation where we have 100+ fires and 1000+ flood related rescues, sifting through the noise is a nearly impossible task.

- cx1000 9y agoReal time drone control from your browser could have a similar effect, and even help find people who are stranded: http://cape.com http://cape.com
