LA Times “My Map” Map of Latest Fires

It’s here.

There’s lot of great detail and time stamps for all additions. I’m still looking a way for creators of such map to source the data points. Are they from LA Times reporters? Officials? People on scene? How can one contribute?

There will be more, not fewer of these sorts of maps from the media and other interested parties. We need tools to give the maps (and orgs behind them) appropriate “authority.” One solution I ran into when looking at the H1N1 maps was from Rhiza Labs app which sits on top of Google Maps.
