I really could use the help of a person who knows how to do KML layers in Google Earth. About KML - Google Earth User Guide You can use KML to share places and information with other users of Google Earth and Google Maps. You can find example KML files on the KML Gallery and ... earth.google.com/userguide/v4/ug_kml.html

Check out my blog with widgets thanks to Qrowd.com and tell me what you think would move this programming project forward.
Think about what data streams would be available for weather data, rain guage data, lat/long placement. River water level guages, stream velocity, online video of rivers with geoplacement, or any other information.
There is a great tool at Qrowd.com to invent widgets for this or any other project for data mashups. Send me an email with your thoughts and joing the followers of this project. Your involvement could save thousands of lives and Billions of dollars in infrastructure if we could get this thing working. How is that for Social Entrepreneurialism.
Check out my Blog for ideas. At this time I have an earthquake widgit and a sea level change widget working toward the idea of a flood mashup.

I have had some good comments from Programmer Types, (Thank you Gentlemen!) and I just have to say... YOUNOODLE Works!
I still have the needs listed above. I really think there is a viable, social, and sustainable business with this.
