Disaster Relief Tracker

FEMA Response Gap Analytics Dashboard

Processed and analyzed 810K+ FEMA disaster relief records across 3,000+ counties to surface gaps in federal aid distribution.
ETL pipeline joining FEMA disbursements with U.S. Census income data revealed a weak aid-to-income correlation (r = 0.16) — a finding with real policy implications.
Deployed on AWS ECS + RDS + CloudFront via Terraform with Redis caching; infrastructure is reproducible and version-controlled.
