I was looking at that the other day and it's really quite cool.
It's a really smart way to keep that kind of information easily accessible. Especially when you can get down to the very street a person lives on. The uses for something like this in the immediate and distant future are vast. Granted it depends heavily on the good will of people to work but it can at least be a great way to get needed info quickly and easily.
It does underline the importance of restoring power and communication lines in hard hit areas though. I think disaster kits should include solar chargers for things like cell phones and laptop batteries. That would help a lot.
