FEMA RSS Feeds for Disasters and GIS

Posted by Jaybird on June 2, 2013 at 10:05pm

I ran across a helpful resource for tracking natural disasters via RSS from FEMA for those who are emergency response surveyors.  You can track these feeds also using Google Earth because the feeds are in GeoRSS format and other location-based file formats.
