Datasets

Outage data Initiative Nationwide (ODIN)

ODIN - Very granular data on certain counties: similar to EAGLE-I except collected by a certain university. More precise data than EAGLE-I: contains data on outages in certain counties with time, geojson, zip code, duration of outage, and county + state details. Data encapsulates outages from 09/2022 to 09/2023.

FEMA's National Risk Index

Gives ratings to different counties across the US based on how vulnerable they are to natural disasters, combining expected monetary loss, social vulnerability and community resilience. Mentioned their social vulnerability ratings are based on another federal dataset - The social vulnerability index by the CDC. Resilience is measured using USC’s Hazard vulnerability and resilience dataset BRIC.

Environment for Analysis of Geo-Located Energy Information (EAGLE-I)

The Environment for the Analysis of Geo-Located Energy Information (EAGLE-ITM) is maintained at Oak Ridge National Laboratory for the Department of Energy (DOE). EAGLE-I is DOE’s operational and scalable data and information platform for real-time wide-area situational awareness of the energy sector, providing a centralized platform for monitoring power distribution outages for the US and Territories. It describes county-level outage data in terms of date the outage occurred and customers impacted between 2014 and 2022.

CDC/ATSDR Social Vulnerability index

CDC social vulnerability scale is a GIS tool that maps the values of the most vulnerable populations across the U.S. on a scale of 0 to 1 (least vulnerable - most vulnerable). Includes complete census data across the U.S. which was used in determining “social vulnerability”, including Minority, Income, Household Details, etc. Potentially one of the best detectors of “overburdened populations” when overlayed with DOE data, as it can potentially give access to electric outages mapped with details of the population in that area. Granularity: County level, contains selected years from 2000 to 2020.
