BBC Interactive Flood Map

Posted on 09:48 by Unknown
Posted by Jessica Lee, Product Manager, Google Maps

The BBC has created an interactive flood map with information about the floods happening in Berkshire, UK. The map includes flood alert information, emergency center locations, photos submitted by local residents, user-generated YouTube videos, and audio clips by BBC Radio correspondents. This is a great example of citizen journalism plus professional journalism, all mashed up on a map. If you have photos, videos or information about the flood that you'd like to submit for inclusion into the BBC's map, please send it to them at berkshire.online@bbc.co.uk.
