The new web app represents the beginning of a wider federal undertaking in projects oriented around climate change. Several cities across the U.S. will be collaborating with a company called Esri in order to create “maps and apps” that will aid their governments in preparing for climate change; a project developed by the World Bank involves the widespread mapping of buildings and other urban infrastructure in more than 20 countries; and Google has even donated a petabyte (a thousand terabytes) of information space for the purpose of storing climate data.
