Google Map Used to Track Cali Fires

Here's an example of how Web 2.0 is changing the way that we communicate and how information is being dispersed on a large scale.

This blog post discusses how a Google map is being used to track the San Diego fires. KPBS Online created the map that includes up-to-date news on the spread of the fire and shows the location of evacuated areas, Red Cross evacuation centers, and closed highways. They are also providing live streaming radio coverage of the fire. [from the Cool Cat Teacher Blog]
