Duly Noted: Sandy Recovery Scorecard

Glad to post anything today after my hosting company, Bluehost, experienced a massive outage on the Intertoobz. Anyway, I wanted to give a hat tip to the Hack Jersey blog for providing more technical details (Mapbox, DataTables) behind the the Sandy Scorecard.

Developed by NJ.com and the Star Ledger–data reporters Eric Sagara and Stephen Stirling–the Scorecard software visualizes NJ’s recovery progress. It’s guaranteed to give hours of infotainment as you gaze at tables showing funds disbursements from FEMA and SBA and the issuance of new housing permits over the last few months, all organized by locality.
