Where does our natural disaster data come from?

USGS Earthquake Feeds

We query the live United States Geological Survey seismological database, displaying active crustal shifts instantly with real coordinates.

NASA EONET Systems

Active wildfires and volcanic ash plumes are loaded live via the NASA Earth Observatory Natural Event Tracker, mapped with real satellite coordinates.

GDACS Global Alerts

Storms, floods, and droughts are tracked worldwide through the Global Disaster Alert & Coordination System, pinpointing each event's live location.

The Virtual Disastr Lab

Play simulator games! Slide a Richter magnitude bar to shake skyscrapers, or discover why glass ash stops flights in our interactive experiments.

🌍 Live Global Tracker

Active natural events being monitored right now, straight from USGS & NASA.
