Always include the important dates. In addition to the release date, also indicate a date when the data was acquired. For interactive infographics, this process can be usually automatized. With this information, even those coming across with your infographic on a later stage will be aware when this product and the related data was relevant.
Prepare to accommodate different scenarios. Today is the first day of a disaster the number of affected people is varying between 9 and 40. However, are these figures going to increase or decrease in the upcoming days? This is an important aspect to consider when setting up the charts, maps and other dashboard elements. When configuring the visualization settings, prepare them so that they will accommodate significant sudden increase (or decrease) in the figures.
Have your work reviewed. It is normal to become blind to your own mistakes after hours, or days, of work on one infographic. Where possible, get your work reviewed by a colleague. S/he might be able to spot some typos, wrong figures or other errors that you have missed.
Consider the ethics and data protection. Even when working with aggregated data, ask yourself if the infographic may accidentally reveal sensitive or personal data. This is especially important when dealing with very granulated data on settlement or sub-settlement levels.
