Feature: County Contact Info

[DDisabat]

-Create feature where we develop and maintain a list of links of the 39 counties in WA that has the URL to their websites (contact page etc.). This would look very similar to the list of contact links for emergency management offices on https://mil.wa.gov/alerts#news .
-Create drop down menu for above, where the user can select a county.
-Create a button that the user can press that takes them to the county webpage from the drop down menu.

-Also, have option for user to opt into receiving information via the county RSS feed. The information from the RSS feed would pop up at the top of the main landing page?

Reach @MaximilianDixon @DDisabat for clarification if needed.

Hi do we need to build something to manage the county links?

If not, are we happy to seed these into the database from a file?

Hi! We do maintain a website with this information (https://mil.wa.gov/alerts#news) , but we would need to build something to manage the links on the admin side to create the drop down menu. We could populate this information into a data table, keep it up to date, and also link the data to zip codes the county contact information pertains to as a search functionality.

For example, if the user enters their zip code, it could automatically show their local emergency management offices phone numbers/websites. So if I entered my zip code, 98101, it could show the Seattle Office of Emergency Management (city), King County Emergency Management (county), and (Washington State Emergency Management's (state) contact information.

Thinking more abstractly, this data table could support other emergency contact information including local police stations, fire stations, shelters, etc from this same document.
