I don’t remember a disaster like this in the past where people were recommended (as I just saw on BBC News 24) to check the internet for updates. Both the BBC and local newspapers are carrying lists of where water bowsers have been installed to stop Gloucestershire from drying out.
Wouldn’t it be a good idea if some web bod at the BBC, Severn Trent or the Glocs Echo could paste up this list of water bowsers into a Google Maps mash up? That would be 10 times more useful than an anonymous list of streets - and would be more web friendly.
