Collection · 5 Verified sources
Hazards and emergencies
Follow natural hazards and the emergency declarations that follow them from the U.S. agencies that publish them: significant and magnitude 4.5+ earthquakes from USGS, U.S. volcanoes at elevated alert levels, FEMA disaster declarations, and NOAA's planetary K-index of geomagnetic activity. Significant earthquakes are checked hourly by default; the slower-moving sources daily, so the set stays affordable.
For: Operations, continuity, insurance and logistics teams that respond to natural hazards.
