Hazardous Events Using the EONET API
Explore how to use NASA's EONET API to access up-to-date data on natural hazardous events such as storms, floods, and wildfires. Understand how to retrieve event categories, filter ongoing or closed events, and visualize event layers to enhance your space and Earth data projects.
Overview
Earth Observatory Natural Event Tracker (EONET) is a repository that contains data for natural events such as storms, floods, and earthquakes. We can use the EONET API to access this data programmatically.
