just an idea #11

Since it is jammed with high traffic and also because most of the city is without power and most do not have access to social media anymore for sending live updates...The news now circulating seems to be old and could be dangerous if not updated. Right now, there are excel sheets with current and updated information circulated on facebook. Maybe you can work with them and do the updates regularly on the map. Or work with a news agency and map information. My suggestion is that it needs to be monitored even if crowd sourced. The situation on the roads is constantly changing. This map is a great idea, and if you can keep it current and real time it would be very useful.

@nishapoulose: Can you please edit the issue summary so it actually describes your idea in one sentence, instead of saying "just an idea" when looking at the complete list of issues? Also, what are "Google satellites" exactly? Any link to any more information about what "Google satellites" means? How exactly do you think could the meteorological department help keeping the map updated? Please elaborate on your ideas. Thanks!

Sorry for the vagueness. I hope this makes more sense now. If I can get some other technical resources, I will share it with you.
