[Esip-disasters] Input on Invitees to First D3M Workshop

[Bob Chen]

Dave--

Well, I think you should look at our SEDAC Hazards Mapper:

http://sedac.ciesin.columbia.edu/mapping/hazards/#

It's just been updated to our 2015 Gridded Population of the World 
dataset and supports simple population queries (circles and polygons). 
Other layers may also be of interest, e.g., locations of major dams 
and reservoirs and nuclear power plants.

BTW, our HazPop iOS app was just updated yesterday in the iTunes 
store: 
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/hazards-population-mapper/id1092168898?mt=8 
It now provides 2015 pop estimates (circles only). The mobile app 
implements selected location services such as monitoring of 
user-defined areas and distance measurement.

We're definitely interested in opportunities to learn more 
about user needs so we can improve both our backend services 
and data and our various client tools.

Cheers, Bob
