Help with MapCruzin

noreply@blogger.com (Mike Meuser) — Wed, 20 May 2009 04:30:00 +0000

Hi - MapCruzin has been a work of love for the past 13 years. With too little time and too much to do, it has grown - rather haphazardly at times - to well over 10,000 pages. I recently received a comment that it is "like a dog chasing its tail." I'm hoping that some of you will take the time to take a look at MapCruzin.com and give me some feedback. My aim is to present free GIS shapefiles, maps, software, tools, news and resources in a manner that is as easy as possible for folks to get the most out of it. Your comments are very much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

noreply@blogger.com (Mike Meuser) — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 21:07:00 +0000

Last week we added schools to the Toxic Release Inventory based ToxicRisk.com Google Maps. Today we created Scorecard.org links to each chemical a facility released. Following this link you will be able to find out much more about the chemical released near your schools and in your neighborhoods. Details include such things as: human health hazards, hazard rankings, chemical use profile, ranking of chemicals by reported environmental releases in the United States, regulatory coverage, basic testing to identify chemical hazards, and information still needed for safety assessment. Go to ToxicRisk.com and learn more about toxic chemical releases near your schools and in your neighborhoods.

Schools and Toxic Chemical Facilities - 2007 Toxic Release Inventory

noreply@blogger.com (Mike Meuser) — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 22:26:00 +0000

Update: April 20, 2009 P.M. - Schools Added to ToxicRisk.com maps

We have added schools to the maps. The maps are now a bit faster and easier to navigate. As you zoom in you will see a change in the icons of the facilities near the center of the map - these are the ones that you can click on and find the facility name, number of schools within 1 mile and number of schools within 5 miles of the facility plus a link to a database about the toxic history of the facility. The schools will appear as you zoom in. As you zoom in further, you will see the school icon change - at that point you can click on the school to view its name. Click here for a graphical mini-tutorial.

We'll also be adding the total number of schools within 1/2 mile, 1 mile and 5 miles of a toxic chemical facility. Click here for the updated 2007 Toxic Release Inventory maps with schools added.
