US open data is disappearing at a scary rate, I never normally recommend this but... Make local copies!!

Guess I just won't map US flood risk today then. Wild that this data is just... Gone?

Thank you for calling this behaviour out!! 👇 this is Olly, my 6kg tabby monster

Mega excited for the Geospatial Risk Summit next week in NYC! 🗽 🇺🇸

I'll be running a "Scaling climate risk analysis with CARTO" technical workshop where we'll be doing this low-code analysis 👇 and making this map 👇 to use real-time weather alerts to stay up-to-date on potential claims.

Thank you!!! I'm not quite sure what that means yet but it for sure sounds like a good thing!

hahahaha this genuinely made me laugh out loud!!

Aaah that's SO nice! Thank you!!! 😊

THANK YOU!! 🙌

Hi I'm Helen and I don't know how Bluesky works! I'll be sharing maps & dataviz that I make and love - as well as tutorials on how to recreate them!

These will likely be interspersed with photos of my enormous cat and/or lunch.
