Global Incident Map

You live in a dangerous world

I'd guess it was nearing an orange alert election day by the number of links I've seen this week to the Emergency and Disaster Information Service's USA alert map. Originating in Budapest, there is also a world alert map. Perhaps less enigmatic and more troubling is the Global Incident Map displaying terrorist acts and (my favorite) suspicious activity. FEMA's Mapping Information Platform lets you enter your home address and see hazards and critical infrastructure in your neighborhood. Want something warm and fuzzy instead, try the Andy Griffith Show Rerun Watchers Club's downloadable Mayberry Maps. Who knew Floyd's Barbershop was so close to the Washateria?
