Google Adds Power Outage Information To Its Hurricane Sandy Crisis Map

As we brought to your attention last night, Google set up what it calls a “Crisis Map” as we waited for Hurricane Sandy to make land-fall. It has, and damage has been done, including massive power outages in all affected areas.

Tonight, the company has updated this map to include that information. Here’s what the Maps team had to say:

New on our #Sandy map: Power outage maps. On a mobile device? Click the “layers” button to see more, including shelter information, storm tracking and public alerts.

Visit the map here:

And if you’re in the New York City area, see our NYC-specific map:
