In the wake of the disrespectful state earthquake, assistance organizations hit been hard at work on the connector and citizens around the concern hit pitched in to support in whatever way they can. On the Geo team, we've been hunting for structure we crapper support relief efforts using our mapping tools. Last week, thanks to our relation GeoEye, we publicised updated equipment imagery of state in Google Earth and Google Maps which illustrated the pillaging and underway conditions on the ground. This data was made acquirable for public activity and also to assist relief efforts including those by whatever UN organizations and the Center for Interdisciplinary Geospatial Information Technologies.
With the wish of furthering awareness and relief efforts, we arranged for a collection of the Port-au-Prince Atlantic at modify higher partitioning (approximately 15cm) to complement the existing imagery. Here are whatever examples of the category of discourse this new dataset crapper convey:
These images were gathered on Sunday (January 17). You crapper currently analyse the imagery in Google Maps in Satellite mode. It module also be acquirable via the Google Maps API and in Google Map Maker. As of this morning, this high-resolution imagery is today acquirable as the humble imagery in Google Earth (all previous imagery of state module be included in the Historical Imagery feature) and has been publicised in the state Earthquake KML layer. We're also making this imagery directly acquirable to relief organizations.
We've also updated the state Earthquake KML place (download for Google Earth) with additional information, including more imagery from GeoEye, Digital Globe, and NOAA, as substantially as seism epicenters and other maps. Aid groups crapper also download Map Maker data as well.
