This layer displays the total number of federal disaster and emergency declarations by county for the year 2017. Disaster events include severe weather events (like tornadoes, hurricanes, and floods) as well as emergencies of man-made origin (like terrorist attacks or toxic spills).

Fire Stations in the United States includes any location where fire fighters are stationed or based out of, or where equipment that such personnel use in carrying out their jobs is stored for ready use. Fire Departments not having a permanent location are included, in which case their location has been depicted at the city/town hall or at the center of their service area if a city/town hall does not exist. This dataset includes those locations primarily engaged in forest or grasslands fire fighting, including fire lookout towers if the towers are in current use for fire protection purposes. This dataset includes both private and governmental entities. Fire fighting training academies are also included.
This layer displays the total number and rate of ambulance events among Medicare beneficiaries.
This layer displays the total number and rate of Medicare inpatient or hospital outpatient emergency department visits per 1,000 beneficiaries.
This layer displays the percentage of patients who came to the emergency department with stroke symptoms who received brain scan results within 45 minutes of arrival. Data are reported at the hospital level for the July 2018 – June 2019 period. Data are obtained from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Hospital Compare dataset.
This layer displays the average number of minutes before outpatients with chest pain or possible heart attack who needed specialized care were transferred to another hospital. Data are reported at the hospital level for the July 2018 – June 2019 period. Data are obtained from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Hospital Compare dataset.

911 Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) service area boundaries in the United States According to the National Emergency Number Association (NENA), a Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) is a facility equipped and staffed to receive 9-1-1 calls. The service area is the geographic area within which a 911 call placed using a landline is answered at the associated PSAP. This dataset only includes primary PSAPs. Secondary PSAPs, backup PSAPs, and wireless PSAPs have been excluded from this dataset. Primary PSAPs receive calls directly, whereas secondary PSAPs receive calls that have been transferred by a primary PSAP. Backup PSAPs provide service in cases where another PSAP is inoperable. Most military bases have their own emergency telephone systems. For more information visit the Homeland Infrastructure Foundation Level Data (HIFLD) website
This dataset contains point features representing building locations of fire stations in the United States, District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The purpose of this collection is to represent the fire station locations on general purpose cartographic products. The data includes manned fire stations and buildings from which a fire response occurs, such as a volunteer fire department building to which fire fighters report for duty, but which is not continuously manned. The data includes both private and governmental entities. In some cases, where fire stations are known to exist but could not be located on a specific building, such as on a military base, airport or manufacturing location, a point was placed at the entrance or the general center of the facility or complex. Some fire locations are approximate, most prevalently in rural areas. Fire training facilities are not included unless these locations also have an active fire station. Locations solely for storing or maintaining fire equipment, or fire stations without a permanent location, were generally excluded. The 2020 data update does not include NAICS descriptions that were included in the 2019 release.
