IMHO an AGS mapping service is about as open as a PDF. It is a picture on a map - nothing more. Open and AGS should be an oxymoron. Seriously try getting anything out of that second link other than a picture.
It means none of this data can remixed reused or repurposed. Which from a disaster response stand point makes it of limited value. Compare this to what the open community did after Haiti. Maps in days if not hours and thousands of data sets. Not a ding on the GIS team's efforts, but it should not be a herculean efforts over 3-4 weeks to get basic maps and data collection/sharing services in place.
