Evacuees Use Social Media To Keep Up On Boulder Wildfire

My sister lives in Boulder, where the Fourmile Fire is still burning.

The map below is a special "open collaboration" Google Maps that reflects information on burned areas, safe areas, etc. by icons placed on a map of the city and the adjacent canyon area which is burning.

The Denver Post headline today said:
“Evacuees Use Social Media To Keep Up On Boulder Wildfire Disaster Developments" and
"Tweets Feed Data Need" while the Boulder Camera says:
"Fourmile Fire: How to get help / How to help
The Boulder, Colorado fire is being coordinated on Boulder’s Facebook page

with hourly updates obtained via Twitter and links to sites like the Office of Emergency Management.

Our City is having an Emergency Preparedness focus this month. Would we do as well as Boulder should the need arise?
