The link below is a website that gives details and locations to disasters and emergencies in the United States. The website is out of Hungary, but they track radio distress information all over the world. Interesting stuff. Click on the icons for details and locations.
We use it in my unit to help track events in the U.S. It is like a web version of listening to the emergency dispatch radio channels on a scanner.
