Hurricane Sandy Gas Station Crisis Sees Solution From New Jersey High School Students via kwout

Click to read about how high school members of IMSOCIO, a youth community mapping initiative to empower communities, who launched a crowdsourced map that locates about 100 open gas stations in the New York-New Jersey area. Stations are identified by green, red or yellow pins -- each representing an open, sold out or charging station. An impressive amount of work done by students who care about the impact of Hurricane Sandy on their region! Franklin High School students are receiving constant emails and Tweets supporting their gas station map project; this public support is facilitating their real-time updates. The IMSOCIO team is also taking tips via Twitter. You can send them support by following their project @IMSOCIO2012 on Twitter.
