Improve UX for Discoverability of Disaster Post Clickability #106

I've had a few people using the app not realize each disaster post on the main posts view was clickable to open a detail view for the disaster.

We can make the disaster post detail view more discoverable by showing a view button or something, maybe have it change color on hover and keep it subtle on non hover if we want to think about mobile and how there is no hover state on mobile devices.

We'll need a stronger signifier on the posts to communicate that affordance.

Pictorial content would be nice, like a mini version of the map. A post heading that appears link-like would also be nice. Maybe a subtle contrast colored button looking thing with an arrow icon or view details text.
