Locus Technologies Expanding Environmental Data Management To Include ERA Superfund Site
Google Maps software technology has radically altered the way we gather geographical information – whether it be finding a friend’s address across the country to seeing where refugee camps are situated in Darfur. Now, a Silicon Valley company, Locus Technologies, is marrying that Google maps mashup capability with EPA Superfund site data in their "ePortal".
Just by entering a zip code anyone can find out if there is a superfund toxic site in the area. So far it is only available for IE 5 and above, but soon those of us who use other browsers will have access.
Information is power has never been more true than it is today.
Here is the Locus’ press release with all the links.
