Similar to maps that Google has released in the past for places like Alberta and Moore, they’ve just published a Crisis Response map to assist with the flooding in Boulder, Colorado.
You can view the map online here, or grab this KML file
to view much of the data inside of Google Earth.
The map includes information about area shelters, road closures, weather advisories and more.
If you’re in or near the affected area, this is a valuable resource to have access to. You’re also encouraged to visit the Boulder Office of Emergency Management, City of Longmont Emergency Information and the Colorado Department of Transportation sites for additional information.
The team behind Google.org does some amazing work, and I was fortunate enough to meet a few of the people behind it when I was at the Where Conference last year. Learning more about what they do was eye-opening, and they continue to release valuable resources like the one we’re showing you today.

As they do after many major weather-related events around the world (such as Moore, Oklahoma last month), Google has just published a Crisis Response map for Alberta to help citizens deal with the incredible flooding.
You can view all of the data on the main Crisis Response map, or download specific KML files to view the data in Google Earth such as this road closure KML, seen here:
The map includes a wealth of information including the road closures seen above, river basin advisories, evacuation zones, shelters, traffic information, and much more. For anyone dealing directly with this situation, this data is invaluable.
The main crisis response page/map is being updated constantly, though you’re encouraged to check out the Recovery Information page from the Alberta Government for the latest official news from the province.
