Google starts shelter lists sharing service, takes photos of evacuation centers as a picture and mails it if you email it

It seems that it is possible to display it together with the map on Picasa when the mobile phone has the GPS function.

The procedure of how to use and the list of evacuation centers published actually are as follows.
