This is a really important issue, I hope you'll sign and forward on to your friends!

I really like how up to date and detailed this FluTracker map is. Published by Rhiza Labs and Recombinomics.

Rhiza Labs creates software that helps non-profits and government agencies share information, understand community needs, track community and environmental assets and collaborate around shared collections of data. Leveraging the power of the Information Commons, Rhiza Labs builds award-winning open systems that make it easy to share data community-wide.

Great story about high school kids that are helping to clean up a neighborhood in Pittsburgh. They helped produce this story for AlleghenyFront.org radio, too.

An interesting case study titled Streamlining Information and Referral that outlines how the Allegheny County Department of Human Services used the Information Commons to create an award winning website that allows the entire community to participate in information and referral activities.

A good story about the launch of Rhiza Labs that builds software where people with common interests can use shared maps, graphs and storytelling tools.
