Virtual Disaster Viewer for L’Aquila Earthquake

February 23, 2018

The website allows users to view recent photos taken over pre and post event satellite imagery. 

The map viewer also allows you to view oblique “bird’s eye” views of pre event fly over imagery.  To view recent photographs of damage, be sure to place a checkmark into the “Show Photos” box.   You will then see pin points show up in the map which you can click to view the photos.

The website is located at: http://virtualdisasterviewer.com/vdv/index.php?selectedEventId=2 (Website no longer exists, Update: March 2018).
