About

This file collects information related to Hurricane Dorian (2019), with a focus on data-related aspects of it. These notes developed out of a Dorian-specific section in emergency-response.md and are to be considered in the broader context of the information gathered in that file.

README

These notes are very loosely sorted into some preliminary thematic complexes. They were initially roughly chronological but this is not the case any more. Knowing that emergency-related information is rather instable (not just but also on the web), I made an effort to archive the URLs listed here via the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine. So if any of the links in here do not work for you any more, you should be able to find a copy of the respective pages over there (unless the website's operator has disallowed web crawler access in their robots.txt or the page scraper timed out). As of September 10, I am in the process of reorganizing these notes into something a bit more structured and more easy to navigate and digest. Help with this is most welcome.

Summary

Openness

Looking into how catastrophic events trigger openness was the reason why I started emergency-response.md, so let's put this first. I will likely transfer some of this back to the other file.

Notes

In this section, I am listing some Dorian-related initiatives or activities that are more of a kind that is common in emergency contexts but not much about openness and thus haven't figured in the examples I have gathered in emergency-response.md so far
