The Disaster Data & Recovery (DDR) Tracker is an independent data initiative designed to increase transparency and understanding of hazard mitigation investments in Hillsborough County, FL.
This application is an independent individual project created as a personal participation toward our collective disaster management efforts. Its primary goal is to keep the public informed through advanced data visualization and historical analysis.
Important: This project has nothing to do with Hillsborough County government or any of its related official services. It is not endorsed by, sponsored by, or representing any government agency.
The visualizations and insights provided are based on public datasets and are intended for research, education, and public awareness only.
Data is pulled directly from the OpenFEMA API. We specifically track the Hazard Mitigation Assistance (HMA) Projects v4 and HMGP Disaster Summaries v2 datasets.
Hazard mitigation reduces loss of life and property by minimizing the impact of future disasters. This tracker shows where investments like generators, flood proofing, and drainage improvements are being made.
This data is intended to support the Hillsborough County Local Mitigation Strategy (LMS) Working Group in their ongoing efforts to build a more resilient community.
