Palisades Fire Maps: A Link Page – by Eric Rasmusen
I’ve been trying to follow the Palisades Fire, which is very difficult because the government info seems to have broken down. Someone with coding skills who knows big data could have made a million dollars with a couple of all-nighters, I think, taking public data and organzing it into maps and selling it to the press and to LA County. Here are the info sources I ve found:
The best map is probably the federal one, AirNow Fire and Smoke Map at Fire.airnow.gov.
What may be a very good one, but with no key to say what the yellow dots are, some of which are in the ocean, is WildfireAware ESRI at Livingatlas.arcgis.com.
One state map is at SceneViewer, California Department of Forestry at Calfire-forestry.maps.arcgis.com.
Another state map is at Cal Fire Incidents at Fire.ca.gov.
A nonprofit map is WatchDuty is at App.watchduty.org.
Thanks Eric. I have found the WatchDuty app, which is good.
