The HIFLD Subcommittee is pleased to announce the release of the HIFLD Open data portal .
LA County leverages a fair amount of this data to provide emergency response preparedness as well as including publicly available data in our Points of Interest file. There is a lot of good information there.
HIFLD Open represents the initial evolutionary first step to provide online access to HIFLD Data. HIFLD Open provides publicly available datasets previously contained in HSIP 2015. These 270+ public domain datasets consist of both re-hosted public domain data AND when possible, live pointers to dynamic web services direct from the source. Data is available for download in a variety of formats to include: CSV, KML, Shapefiles, as well as access to APIs – such as GeoJSON, and GeoService.
Please note that in alignment with a recent vote by members of the HIFLD Subcommittee, the release of this new data portal represents a new branding and packaging approach to the HIFLD product line. The legacy term ‘HSIP’ is now represented by Homeland Infrastructure Foundation-Level Data. For questions or additional information related to this announcement, please do not hesitate to contact the HIFLD Support Team at HIFLD@hq.dhs.gov.
