The Katrina Disaster Map 'Wiki'

It's amazing what the Internet can do. In the recent Katrina Hurricane disaster, some smart folks are using Internet as a resource. The best has to be this Wiki featured in Wired News.

Of all of the websites tracking the Katrina disaster, surely one of the most remarkable is Scipionus.com.

Visitors swoop down over a map of the Gulf Coast that's awash in hundreds of red teardrops, each denoting information about specific geographical points in the area. That's pretty amazing in itself, but there's more: All of the information on the map has been provided by ordinary citizens, most of whom presumably have come to the site in search of information on the flood themselves.

Once again, we can celebrate the power of the Net, and the ingenious folks who come up with these amazing tools.
