Get New Assessment Data on Hurricane Irma

The Latest Data on Hurricane Irma

Ever since Hurricane Irma began making international headlines for its record-shattering size and impact, dozens of datasets have been added to the HDX platform. From damage assessments in Barbuda Island to information on Puerto Rico’s waterways, these datasets are helping responders to understand how best to reach those affected.

Data Visualizations Made Easy with Quick Charts

Back in June, we asked for feedback on five proposed HXL-supported tools. Quick Charts, the first in the series, is now ready to use for generating basic charts and figures from datasets. Find out why we think the new tool will incentivize good tagging practices across organisations. Plus, see examples of Quick Charts deployed to communicate flood damage, health infrastructure and Cyclone Enawo needs assessment data in Madagascar.

Share the Metadata, Hide the Data with HDX Connect

There’s a new call to action for HDX users and contributors: share the existence of datasets without sharing the underlying data. Called HDX Connect, the hope is to help our community better understand what data exists, and to assist organisations with data coordination and transparency in times of humanitarian crises.
