Add community resilience context to monitoring reviews

For selected regions and a chosen year, retrieve Census Community Resilience Estimates and summarize the results alongside your device monitoring review.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

Action

Get Community Resilience Estimates

Retrieves estimates of community resilience and vulnerability to disasters.

Why this helps

Teams reviewing local conditions may need a consistent community resilience reference but lack time to find and compile it.

  • Retrieve Community Resilience Estimates for a specified year.
  • Review selected regions using one consistent Census source.
  • Bring demographic context into recurring monitoring reviews.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Adafruit IO and Census bureau once in Notis.
  • 2Create an automation and specify the geographies, year, and variables for Community Resilience Estimates.
  • 3Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports go.
  • 4Test with one real region and confirm the requested year and geography.

Questions about this workflow

What inputs are needed?

Specify the year, geography, and variables you want. The workflow should not assume those details from sensor readings.

Are resilience estimates a device measurement?

No. They are Census community data that can provide context for reviewing device information; they do not describe sensor conditions.
