Tropical Storm Isaac is expected to make landfall as early as Tuesday or Wednesday of this week, and the path of the storm continues to update — with current projections toward the U.S. Gulf Coast. The Google Crisis Response team, working with the Red Cross, the Florida Division of Emergency Management, and various government and NGO partners, have assembled a Tropical Storm Isaac map to track the storm’s progress and provide updated emergency information to those in need:
On the map you can find emergency preparedness information, including:
- Isaac’s current location and projected path, courtesy of the NOAA-National Hurricane Center
- Weather updates and data, including radar and cloud imagery from weather.com and the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory
- Evacuation information and routes
- Shelter and recovery centers locations
- Storm-related YouTube videos, including many curated by Storyful
We’ll be updating this map with more information as it becomes available. We hope you find the tools and information useful.
