When a devastating earthquake and tsunami struck eastern Japan in 2011, leading to the meltdown of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, trustworthy radiation information was not available to the public. Formed in response, the non-profit environmental organization Safecast.org now uses Grafana dashboards extensively to provide real-time data from a custom fleet of radiation and air quality sensors around the globe. In this session, Mat Schaffer, SRE at Safecast, will demonstrate how the organization is using Grafana to provide open data to the world.
