usgs services

Hi,

Anyone know what happened to the maps services that were hosted under this link?

https://igems.doi.gov/arcgis/rest/services/igems_haz/MapServer

They used to work till last week? We use it to display hurricanes and weather data from it. It was the best service available.

The Igems services were retired apparently.

I would contact the website manager on the page about whatever replacement they may or may not have for it.

The whole server appears to be down (try navigating to the top level of the rest services directory). Given the current administration, who knows what's going on. I'd suggest contacting someone in that particular program to ask about it.

Thanks Ian. Will contact them and see if there is any alternatives.

I did find this:

Folder: /

If they do respond, would you please mind sharing the response here? I occasionally used that server as a data source so if they have a replacement in the works I would love to know about it as well.

Just emailed them about services being down or retired already. Also asked them about the alternatives. Will post their response as soon as I hear back from them. Thanks.

Depending on what type of weather and hurricane data you're looking for, NOAA has several map services:

NOAA's National Weather Service

Thanks Ken.

I just noticed that they have the Current National Weather Service Watches, Warnings, or Advisories service, which is very closed to how DOI services were.

I am still looking for the Hurricane Services.

If you're at the UC next week, ask them.

Thanks Jeff. I wished, I would have been able to attend the UC. Never been to one before. If you or someone you know is attending UC, please pass this question to them. Thanks again.

Re: usgs services

JeffreyUtter2 — Thu, 06 Jul 2017 18:20:28 GMT

I will be there and will ask.

Thanks man. Appreciated it.

They did indeed retire the public facing IGEMS on June 30, and have no plans on replacing it currently. It was displaying data that is readily available elsewhere and so was not worth the cost of the upkeep. Let me know if you need any other resources of where to find information like they presented!

A lot of the same data (and more) is found here, and they have links to most of it so you can grab the REST services. nowCOAST™: NOAA's Web Mapping Portal to Real-Time Coastal Observations, Forecasts, and Warnings

Thanks Hilary. Appreciated it. I began to use those.

Thanks.

I am looking to replace them with below NOAA services that matches with USGS provided.

Weather Watches/Warnings/Alerts is below,

I was at the UC, and they did not have a Booth. Upon asking the Information Desk, they were also perplexed too.

I'm having my other contacts looking into the matter.

Re: usgs services

SteveCole — Mon, 17 Jul 2017 17:40:50 GMT

The feds have been perplexing as of late. The USGS had a pretty strong presence in this year's map gallery but I didn't pay attention to their booth presence. I will say that the Forest Service did not have a booth presence last year but did this year. Maybe they're alternating years now?...

Thanks for checking Jeff.
