CRISIS/MAP

Global situational awareness

About CrisisMap

See what is happening, and where

CrisisMap is a lightweight global disaster map for quickly understanding recent events around the world.

It brings public hazard information into one clear view: what happened, where it happened, how recently it was reported, and what the underlying source is saying.

The current public version focuses on recent earthquakes, floods, wildfires, tropical cyclones, and volcanic eruptions.

CrisisMap is intentionally simple. There is no account to create and no social feed to manage. The goal is to provide a fast, readable starting point for situational awareness without turning uncertain disaster data into false precision.

Source fidelity

Data and sources

CrisisMap currently uses event information from the Global Disaster Awareness and Coordination System (GDACS).

GDACS combines information and models from scientific institutions, official sources, and other authoritative domains. Some GDACS notifications and impact estimates are generated automatically and may contain uncertainty or errors. Information can also be delayed, incomplete, or revised.

CrisisMap is not an emergency warning service. For evacuation instructions, emergency decisions, or other actions affecting health or safety, always consult the appropriate local or national authorities and official warning services.

Independent by design

A small, focused project

CrisisMap is a Project 108 project.

Project 108 is an independent collection of focused digital products and experiments. CrisisMap began as an experiment in making public disaster information easier to explore visually, and it will continue to evolve around the same principles: clarity, source fidelity, and restraint.
