Australian Floods - Overview of online (mapping) resources

[Last updated 14 Jan 2011, 3:40 PM AEDST]

There is an abundance of information and mapping resources springing up online to deal with the
ongoing Australian floods.

I have compiled an overview of online resources that can assist the affected communities in dealing with this disaster while it happens, and in the aftermath.

NOTE - RESOURCE LISTINGS HAVE BEEN MOVED TO REGION SPECIFIC PAGES:


As resources will come and go, this will be a bit of a moving feast, but with your help, I will try & keep it as current and accurate as possible.

If you have any suggestions or links to be added, please comment below, or send me a tweet (@mvandervlugt) or email (mauritsrutger -at- gmail.com).

And please share these pages with others!

    1. Thanks Maurits for creating this compilation. Certainly, there is a lot to look at. I would like to add my own map to the list, just to put the things into perspective as to the full extent of flooding in Qld:

      The second map is from SBS, identical as in your post.

    2. Hi again Maurits,

      Wow, the list is growing fast! Since you have added NSW to the list, I would like to put forward another of my recently created maps.
