Horn of Africa - Telling a story with a map

This Map Story examines the ongoing drought and famine that threaten millions of people in Somalia and elsewhere in the Horn of Africa. Four maps, accessible via the tabs near the top of the page, explore aspects of the crisis, including refugee populations, predicted food shortages, the extent of the drought, and continuing relief efforts. New satellite images show rapidly growing refugee camps in Ethiopia. The map below is only part of the story, embedded in the story-telling template of arcgis.com it tells much more: check it out here:http://storymaps.esri.com/famine/ or with an integrated multimedia experience on this page: http://www.geostories.org/story/famine-in-the-horn-of-africa/ges879C1E16C94248687.
