When Google Earth first came on the scene people thought it was great fun to hop online and check out where they were and local and foreign landmarks, as well as other points of interest around the globe. With many interesting facts and figures on countries and the economy, it was easy to see what the draw was.
In addition to satisfying the curiosity of the average Google users, Google Earth has also become an invaluable tool for emergency services personal across the United States, and internationally as well. Google Earth helps emergency services personnel not only find locations were critical services are needed, but it also provides detailed images of these places which may eliminate problems, or facilitate the job of the emergency services personnel when they reach their destination.
Because Google Earth is free to use, and is available to anyone with a PC and an internet connection, the ability to use Google Earth by emergency services personnel is available to every state, city, and town. While bigger cities were the first to adopt this technology many smaller towns are now adding Google Earth to their existing tools, making the job of first responders on the ground easier. Google Earth even has the ability to be enhanced, allowing fire fighters to have real time information on where a fire is, where it is spreading, and the best way to stop the spread of a large fire. This information in invaluable to those in command, whether it is the fire department or any other emergency services units. Google Earth is helping emergency services personnel save lives, and respond to situations more quickly and more efficiently.
Google Earth does not have the satellites in place that would be required to provide real time feeds to emergency services personnel on site, however the images available on Google Earth are pretty close to real time. In addition to the most up to date maps available, Google Earth also provides extra information to emergency services command centers that they do not make available to civilian users of Google Earth.
Such a wise company with many features that are ahead of their time, you will find that whatever you need on a personal or a professional level, Google offers all you seek and more.
