There is a large fire near Herriman, Utah, known as the Herriman Fire or the Machine Gun Fire. Some details.
On twitter, follow #herrimanfire .
Maps are being produced with evacuation zones. Look for one that loads fast, which means that a typical output from a GIS system with every road marked in loving detail is not what you want. See e.g.
- 800kb map hosted on Google Docs
- 8.1mb map hosted on Scribd, a copy of the official map, loads faster
- 8.1mb map, original pdf in loving detail, from City of Herriman; do not download unless you need it
Note to self, it would be worthwhile to GIS managers to have an option for "emergency map" that automatically produces a space-efficient map that can be used in the field.
