Here in Southern California, the air is acid with ash and smoke, and there’s a nasty black layer of powder on everything. Eyes burn and lungs ache. Meanwhile, blogger Allen Stern makes the very interesting point that disasters like the many Santa Ana-stoked fires in SoCal and other quick-moving events are individually trackable through various social media sites — but nobody puts them all together into CRISIS CENTERS that aggregate all postings on each event. Still, he gives it a shot, and links to an impressive quantity of fire-related updates on Flickr, YouTube, Google Maps mashups, Wikipedia and others. The idea, as Paris Hilton (or the L.A. County Fire Department) might say: is “hot.”
