Frequently asked questions

A regularly refreshed briefing on what's happening in the world — earthquakes, weather, conflict, disease outbreaks, cyber threats and other disasters — built from public data and summarised by an AI model.

On a schedule, currently roughly every 12 hours; the exact cadence can change over time. The History page shows the timestamp of every past digest.

Yes — one AI model call turns the day's condensed data into the headline, per-category risk assessments and a list of key events, each linked to the original report it's based on. It can be incomplete or wrong, so always check the linked source before treating anything as confirmed.

Public sources only: USGS and EMSC for earthquakes, Open-Meteo and NOAA for weather, GDELT, UN News, the International Crisis Group and government travel advisories for conflict, WHO and ECDC for health, CISA for cyber vulnerabilities, and GDACS for other disasters. The Sources page lists every one with its licence.

Risk is a 0–100 judgement of current conditions in a category (Low, Moderate, Elevated or Critical). The "% chance in 7 days" is the model's rough estimate that a notable event happens within a week — it is not a forecast or a calibrated probability.

Each 7-day "% chance" is checked, once the week has passed, against whether a high-severity event of that category was actually reported afterwards. The Accuracy page shows the resulting Brier score and calibration — it measures how well the reporting lines up, not ground truth.

It means none of that category's sources returned anything on that run — it is shown explicitly rather than silently treated as calm. Coverage is uneven by design: some regions and topics are reported on far more than others.

Yes — a free, read-only REST API with no authentication required, and an RSS feed of the latest briefings with an optional filter for high-risk items only.

Yes — every country page has a small embeddable SVG risk badge with a ready-to-copy URL, similar to a build-status badge.

Not yet — today the only way to stay updated is the RSS feed or checking the site directly. Email/webhook alerts are a planned feature.

We use Google Analytics to understand overall traffic (page views, approximate location, device type). No account or personal information is required to use the public site.

No. This is an information aid built from public feeds, not an emergency service — for urgent situations, always use your local authorities and official channels.
