If you use Early Warning dashboards (drought, market prices, etc)- what are your favorites? I'm hoping to compile a list. Thread has examples of the ones I use (mostly seasonal data- vegetation and rainfall)

Looking at you: @dickoah , @OlanderBill , @LambertMarieJu1 , @Simon_B_Johnson , @humdata , @colomborobert, @notoncebut2x , @david_megginson

First one I have to mention is GeoSahel. All of @acfwestafrica's field data on pastoralism and biomass is here. Even though I don't work for ACF anymore, I find myself frequently using it. ( @LambertMarieJu1 runs this now)

I think @GEOCropMonitor has a great crop monitor tool- I find the crop calendar particularly useful. I really want to get to using this tool more often.

My new favorite is the @G20_GEOGLAM RAPP dashboard- a must use for #cowfacts! The fractional cover layer is a nice measure of pasture availability in the dry season.

The dashboard i've used for the longest is definitely the @FEWSNET / @USGS Early Warning Explorer. Super easy to use- just click on an admin 1 or 2 for NDVI and rainfall time series charts.

Can't not mention @WFPVAM's DataViz. I find myself using it a lot to get price data. It has seasonal data as well (NDVI and rainfall) as well but I haven't worked with it as much.

A great one from @climatesociety- simple easy to use tool that makes maps of rainfall anomalies and the archive goes back to the 1970s.

Here's a real specific one for wildfires. Very useful when you're looking at pasture availability in the dry season. Another indispensable dataset for #cowfacts.
