I'm doing some research on google earth tonight and I came across some links
that made me think of the GSA. Apperantly google earth was used in the
Katrina response

but in order to be able to make anything usefull (ie overlays) you'd need to
buy the $400 professional version of GE (and another $200 if you traffic
counts, and another $200 want GIS) but to tell you the truth _google_maps_
has more than enough functionality to make an "emergency evacuation
instructions" type site that would give you instructions on the
safest/quickest way out of town during a given emergency depending on where
you were in town... maybe also some sort of local/emergency-related rss
aggregate, too?
some google maps links:

anyways, food for thought
