The OpenFEMA initiative is FEMA's vision for open government that embraces the tenets of transparency, participation and collaboration to support citizens and first responders by increasing government accountability, innovation, and effectiveness.
The goals of the OpenFEMA initiative are:
- Release high-value data sets on an ongoing basis, so it is easier to find and more accessible for the public in times of a disaster;
- Build a transparent and interactive connection with members of the public through an online dialogue with external constituencies;
- Provide information and data in more useful formats to enable citizens, the private sector and non-government organizations to leverage the data in innovative and value-added ways.
This campaign hopes to generate discussion on a number of topics, including:
- Using FEMA’s data
- Ways to improve your experience using FEMA datasets
- Other areas of focus for future datasets
Feel free to comment on or discuss any of these issues. We look forward to hearing your feedback!
