A Month of Emergencies in America, in GIF Form
Mapping where emergencies are happening in the U.S.
We are in a state of emergency. All the time.
A new map from the U.S. Census Bureau allows users to tack real-time emergency information, from floods to fires to storms to FEMA-declared disasters. The map features a breakdown of all the crummy things going on across the country on any given day. And based on a scan of a few months worth of days, there's something crummy going on pretty much all the time.
