RSOE – from Free Technology for Teachers - “RSOE is a service based in Hungary that is using publicly available data sets to create a continuously updating Google Map of emergency events. Click on any icon on the map to learn about the event. The types of things you're likely to find on the map are car, rail, and airplane accidents, seismic activities, outbreaks of illnesses, fires, and nuclear energy events.” The recent events that happened in Japan were seen on this map after it happened. I think this is a really cool site to visit!
