Apparently, there has been a lot of discussion as of late about why Google switched all the New Orleans imagery back to pre-Katrina imagery.顯然，有很多的討論，截止到年底，為何谷歌開關所有新的新奧爾良意象回到颶風來襲前的圖像。 This is a quote off這是一個引述小康 Slashdot了slashdot : ：

“CNN reports that images of lands devastated by Hurricane Katrina have been replaced on Google’s map service with pre-Hurricane Katrina imagery. " 美國有線新聞網報導說，形象地遭受颶風已取代了對谷歌的地圖服務與預颶風意象。 Now a subcommittee from The House Committee on Science and Technology has asked CEO Eric Schmidt for Google’s motivation behind the imagery switch. 現在一個小組委員會，由眾議院科學和技術委員會已要求公司首席執行官埃里克施密特為谷歌的動機意象開關。 ‘[Congressional subcommittee chair Brad] Miller asked Google to brief his staff by April 6 on who made the decision to replace the imagery with pre-Katrina images, and to disclose if Google was contacted by the city, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the U.S. Geological Survey or any other government entity about changing the imagery. ' [國會小組委員會主席布拉德]米勒問谷歌，向他的工作人員，由4月6日就作出決定，以取代意象與颶風來襲前的圖像，並透露如果谷歌了聯繫，由市政府，聯邦緊急管理署，美國地質調查局或任何其他政府實體，要改變形象。 “To use older, pre-Katrina imagery when more recent images are available without some explanation as to why appears to be fundamentally dishonest,” Miller said.’ It is worth pointing out that images from Google Earth have not been changed.” " ，以使用舊的，颶風來襲前的意象時，更多最新圖片，可沒有某種解釋為何似乎得到了根本不誠實， "米勒說， '這是值得指出的是，從圖像谷歌地球上並沒有改變" 。

Google wrote on their official谷歌寫道其官方 blog博客 the following after all of the comments:之後所有的評論：

In 2005, shortly after Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans and the Gulf Coast, a very motivated group of volunteers at Google worked with NOAA, NASA, and others to post updated imagery of the affected areas in Google Maps and Google Earth as quickly as possible. 在2005年之後不久，颶風襲擊新奧爾良和墨西哥灣沿岸地區，這是一個很動機組的志願者在谷歌與諾阿，美國航天局，及其他郵政更新圖像的影響範圍內，在谷歌地圖和谷歌地球盡快好起來。 This data served as a useful reference for many people — from those interested in understanding what had happened, to friends and families checking on the status of loved ones and property, to rescuers and relief workers. 這個數據提供了有益的參考，因為很多人-那些有興趣了解發生了什麼事，朋友和家人進行對照檢查地位的親人和財產，救援人員和救援工作者。 Shortly after the event, we received a voicemail thanking us for the role Google Earth played in guiding rescuers to stranded victims. Several months later, in September 2006, the storm imagery was replaced with pre-Katrina aerial photography of much higher resolution as part of a regular series of global data enhancements. 不久，在事件發生後，我們獲得了留言，感謝大家來說作用谷歌地球起到引導救援人員滯留的受害者。幾個月後，於2006年9月，颶風意象取代颶風來襲前的空中照相解像度的一部分一連串定期全球數據增強功能。 We continued to make available the Katrina imagery, and associated overlays such as damage assessments and Red Cross shelters, on a dedicated site (earth.google.com/katrina.html). 我們繼續提供卡特里娜意象，並進行相關的重疊，如損失評估和紅十字會的庇護所，對一個專門的網站（ earth.google.com / katrina.html ） 。 Our goal throughout has been to produce a global earth database of the best quality — accounting for timeliness, resolution, cloud cover, light conditions, and color balancing. Given that the changes that affected New Orleans happened many months ago, we were a bit surprised by some of these recent comments. 我們的目標是全國各地已產生全球地球數據庫的最佳品質-核算的及時性，分辨率，雲量，光照條件和色彩平衡，既然變化影響新奧爾良發生多月前，我們有點驚訝由上述若干最新評論。 Nevertheless, we recognize the increasingly important role that imagery is coming to play in the public discourse, and so we’re happy to say that we have been able to expedite the processing of recent (2006) aerial photography for the Gulf Coast area (already in process for an upcoming release) that is equal in resolution to the data it is replacing. 然而，我們認識到越來越重要的作用，這是意象來發揮，在公共話語，因此，我們很高興地說，我們已經能夠加快處理近期（ 2006年）的航空攝影為海灣沿岸地區（已在過程中，為即將發布）這就是平等，在解決數據，它正在取代。 That new data was published in Google Earth and Google Maps on Sunday evening. 新的數據公佈谷歌地球和谷歌地圖上週日傍晚。

Anyway, I live in one of the areas that got hit pretty hard, but thankfully my house was OK.無論如何，我住在一個領域獲得擊中，真是難得的，但幸好我的房子沒事。 The entire area though around is still empty for the most part.整個地區雖然周圍仍是空的，為大多數的一部分。 And now they are building a giant flood gate on the very pretty levee in front of our house!而現在，他們正在建設一個巨大的防洪閘門，非常漂亮的大堤前我們的房子！ You can see it here:你可以看到它這裡：

The levee being worked on in front of my house!堤防正在進行這項工作，在前面我的房子！

Though I’m happy that the imagery is recent and reflects the actual state of the city.雖然我很高興的是，意象是最近和反映實際狀況的城市。 Even though it’s not pretty, it feel better in a weird way.即使它的不漂亮，會覺得好奇怪。 Otherwise it seems to take away from the actual severity of the storm.否則，似乎採取脫離實際的嚴重性風暴。
