OpenStreetMap
Open Street Maps for emergency services.
One of the issues to be dealt with during a tragedy is mapping information. When you setup emergency shelters, or if you are setting up mobile command centers it is important to share that information with everyone so everyone knows where resources are located.
I think that OSM can fill that gap for real time mapping updates for a changing situation.
Wondering what everyone else might think about that as well.

Sounds like a sound plan to me. Maybe icons to show where problems exisit (!), aid (+) and help (?)

It does sound like a great idea!

Great idea! Unfortunately, they’re already doing it using Google, and most people are trained to go Google first. If we could have faster updates here and publicize it, maybe that could change?
