Write code to detect shelters that are missing from irma-api about disaster-data HOT 6 CLOSED

The florida-shelters.json file generated from http://www.floridadisaster.org/shelters/summary.aspx is a useful starting point... but the really interesting data comes from FEMA. It's a lot larger and potentially harder to work with, but if you're looking for an ambitious, impactful task try doing the above but for these JSON files instead:

• https://github.com/simonw/irma-scraped-data/blob/master/fema-open-shelters.json
• https://github.com/simonw/irma-scraped-data/blob/master/fema-nss.json

Nit, should that be florida-shelters.json @simonw?

Typo fixed :)

That "commit that referenced this issue" above is junk - one of the shelters mentioned in there happened to have #1 in its name. Unfortunately I don't think I can delete rogue commits-that-referenced-this-issue.

I have a weak preference for getting this solved in Python because that would make it trivial for me to hook it into the rest of the bot scraping infrastructure I have set up already - but getting this solved quickly is much more important so feel free to use whatever technology you are most comfortable with.

pefect, python and i are buds

I've built the first one of these, to compare the florida shelters site with the shelters listed on irma-api. Here's the implementation: simonw/irma-scrapers@113b221
