Animated
Map of Hurricane Harvey Rescue Calls
The New York Times created an
animated map showing rescue requests coming from residents around the city of
Houston from Sunday to Wednesday during the Hurricane Harvey flooding. The rescue requests were submitted to several
online databases, and various local rescue groups dispatched boats. “Though not every account could be confirmed,
in aggregate, the animated map offers a glimpse into the geography of the
disaster.”
Users
can watch the requests begin circling the city of Houston. Then on Wednesday the requests start to light
up near Beaumont and Port Arthur as the hurricane moved to the east.
