Disaster APIs For Disaster response application [closed]

Question

I am looking for Disaster APIs that will provide data on the most current natural disasters. Hurricanes, earthquakes, Tsunamis, droughts ect. Are there any good ones. I found the website http://hisz.rsoe.hu/alertmap/index2.php and was really hoping they had an API but they dont. The map on the site shows all natural disasters and would and displays the data i am looking for. So if anyone knows any APIs where i can get this or similar data please help.

The same problem we have faced a few months ago and decided to build a REST API (http://api.sigimera.org) on top of GDACS.org. GDACS.org is a pretty good information source that classifies different crises types. In the future we plan to extend our platform with other sources and improve tool and library support.

This solution should unify the access to crises and crises relevant information.

Please let me know for what purpose do you need this information and what information are missing or too cumbersome to access. Maybe we can extend our API...
