Hurricane Katrina information

Do you need to find out about a particular area in New Orleans? A site based on Google Maps* is collecting data that may be helpful:

Here's an article in WIRED Magazine about the project. My son knows the young man who came up with the idea.

If you need other Hurricane Katrina information, including more message boards, the Dallas Public Library is compiling an online
Hurricane Katrina Disaster Resource

You can also get to it from their home page
Dallas Public Library

The resource guide has links to vital information for those who have been displaced by the storm. The first part is Dallas-related but scroll down and you will find much more that would be useful to folks anywhere.

  • Includes both regular maps and the corresponding satellite picture - check out your house!
