Emergency RSS Feeds
==============
I am testing out a new web tool that hopefully contains all the Emergency feeds you are likely to need over the coming few days - right now there is nothing much on it of course, but it will show its worth over the next few days I hope. I have not had time to create the full system I want to create so this is a "First step" so please bear that in mind when using it!
http://output29.rssinclude.com/output?type=fb&id=835708&hash=0b8f685707dd08ead13166fc73a500e4
GEMA now has a similar tool that is quite good see
http://m.fema.gov/social-hub
You can see most of these here too
https://www.facebook.com/pages/Atlantaemergencyfeeds/297681503714489
The idea behind this is to prevent everyone having to go to 100 different websites to get the latest info.
