“The Data Is The Public Good” 66

The Passive, Active, Reliable Loop… 67

“When a hurricane makes landfall, the head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency relies on a couple of metrics to assess its destructive power. First, there is the well-known Saffir-Simpson Wind Scale. Then there is what he calls the ‘Waffle House Index.’ ‘If you get there and the Waffle House is closed?’ FEMA Administrator Craig Fugate has said. ‘That’s really bad. That’s where you go to work.’” 68

Expanding Data Literacy Means: 1. Passive data will be more broadly useful 2. It will be easier to solicit new active data 3. Official sources are best as a predictable good 69
