tourism of a sort

I just discovered: http://hisz.rsoe.hu/alertmap/. Now I know what a 'GLIDE number' is too. It's a very comprehensive system - including a code for 'animal attacks'...

There's also: http://www.gdacs.org/

One of those slightly weird moments when you're reminded that anything (in terms of published information) is available at anytime. I rather envy the programmers who worked on all this. Web Services (tapping news & information feeds) are nice to work with.
