The data

For a spreadsheet or a GIS:
- reports.csv · reports.geojson approved community reports, one row each, with date, approximate location, what was seen and the hotspots it counted for. No phone numbers.
- rain.csv daily rainfall at each hotspot, one row per place per day, modelled by Open-Meteo, not gauged. Nearby places often share one figure.
- roads.csv every road status change the team made, with the time.
- places.csv the 31 hotspots, with the source that named each.
The full record, as the site uses it:
- ledger.json every approved report and road change. Hidden reports keep their date and lose their text.
- rain.json · history.json rain by place and date, and flood days per place.
