Instance setup to manage Hospitals data.

Request from White House via Crisis Commons:
* http://wiki.crisiscommons.org/wiki/Hurricane_Sandy_2012#A.4_NY_Hospital_Evacuation_and_Availability

Instance:
* http://sandy.sahanafoundation.org
 * Please only register if you are actively working on the project
* [wiki:UserGuidelinesHMS User Guide]

== Requirements ==
These should be written as User Stories: BluePrint/Guidelines
* White House to be able to get an overview of the Hospital Statuses across the affected region
 * Style Map markers (Feature Query)
 * breakdown by region
  * Search widgets
 * breakdown by services
  * Search widget (although we don't have data yet)
 * reopening time
 * damage sustained
 * power
* Requests?
* Contacts?
* Security Policy? (currently Simple: http://eden.sahanafoundation.org/wiki/UserGuidelines/Admin/Permissions)
* Stick to HAVE: http://docs.oasis-open.org/emergency/edxl-have/emergency_edxl_have-1.0-spec-pr02.xhtml

== Issues ==
* Map not showing locations until gis.update_location_tree() run manually via CLI
* Reports not defaulting the fields in the options except for the component one
* Importer no longer having errors appear in 1st rows (fixed)
 * also not searchable (fixed)
 * also have some records show up in XML (fixed)
 * also would be nice not to have apostrophes quoted (fixed)
* Need to explain delay in Lx getting populated via gis.update_location_tree()

== Data ==
* Boundaries and hierarchy:
 * L0, L1 & L2 are in GADM (done)
 * L3
  * Tiger: http://www.census.gov/cgi-bin/geo/shapefiles2010/layers.cgi
   * No use for NYC as it puts 1 L3 Borough in each L2 County
  * Brooklyn: http://geocommons.com/overlays/6090
  * NY State civil boundaries: http://gis.ny.gov/gisdata/inventories/details.cfm?DSID=927 \\
    "boundaries of incorporated places in New York State (state, counties, cities, towns, villages, and Indian reservations)" \\
    (Note ocpyrighted.)
 * L4 (Zip codes)
  * NYS http://gis.ny.gov/gisdata/inventories/details.cfm?DSID=934
   * needs parenting to L3s via http://www.health.ny.gov/statistics/cancer/registry/appendix/neighborhoods.htm (done but this is only for NYC)
  * NJ: http://geocommons.com/overlays/22081
  * Full hierarchy w/o shapefiles is available from http://www.zip-codes.com/zip-code-database.asp for US$40. They allow looking up data in batches, but would need to copy & paste the table part of the page into a file (not the html, just select the rows in the rendered page). Suggest looking up each county in NY in turn here: http://www.zip-codes.com/search.asp
