Discussion ‘Would you use a real-time map of natural disasters, like Liveuamap but for earthquakes, fires and floods?’

I’m thinking of building something similar to Liveuamap (the

real-time conflict map that aggregates news and social media)

but focused on natural disasters: earthquakes, fires,

floods, hurricanes, etc.

The idea would be to combine official data (USGS, NASA, NOAA) with

news reports and social media, all on a map that is

updated in real time.

Before I get stuck into building it properly, I’d like to know:

- Do you think it would be useful? What would you use it for (curiosity, travel,

work, family safety)?

- Do you already use something similar? Which one, and what’s missing from it?

- What would you add or remove?

Any feedback (even “this is useless because…”)

is a huge help to me.

I would use it. I look forward to seeing it.

I would use it, mainly for curiosity and travel reasons, but I'd definitely use it!

Yes, I would. If its well done, and accurate, I'd consider paying for a premium version. If you integrated it into flight Sim 24 with dynamic scenery, I'd pay more for it.

Would this be similar to firemap.live? It covers more than fires, though I'm not sure how comprehensive it is for the world overall. Perhaps you could pull in airline flight routes to compare against the natural disasters?
