Add New data set from FEMA

Open Bauerr opened this issue 9 years ago • 2 comments

Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) launched a new data visualization tool that enables users to see when and where disaster declarations have occurred across the country. As hurricane season kicks off, the tool helps provide important information about the history of hurricanes and other disasters in their communities and what residents can do to prepare.

I would like to see if we can add this data as a feed to GeoQ. http://links.govdelivery.com:80/track?type=click&enid=ZWFzPTEmbWFpbGluZ2lkPTIwMTUwNjExLjQ1ODk5OTAxJm1lc3NhZ2VpZD1NREItUFJELUJVTC0yMDE1MDYxMS40NTg5OTkwMSZkYXRhYmFzZWlkPTEwMDEmc2VyaWFsPTE3NDgzNDc3JmVtYWlsaWQ9am9obi5wZXJyeUBlbWVyLWdpcy5jb20mdXNlcmlkPWpvaG4ucGVycnlAZW1lci1naXMuY29tJmZsPSZleHRyYT1NdWx0aXZhcmlhdGVJZD0mJiY=&&&100&&&http://content.govdelivery.com/accounts/USDHSFEMA/bulletins/1092264> .

The API info is here: http://www.fema.gov/developer-resources

Will try some of these out

Would be interesting to have a page that essentially allows a user to pick one or more of these layers on a page and automatically creates configuration on system
