Is there a specific purpose of this tool ? To track epidemies, or weather related deaths (like in summer)? I can see a number of applications, but the n size at the scale of Portugal is rather small.
The related new is about epidemies, suicides and car crash. I think that it's quite good that gov released this tools, opendata is one of the goals of this century ;-)
