Live Disaster and Crisis Alerts

Alert types

• Earthquakes — USGS feed with magnitude, depth, time and location, filterable by magnitude threshold.
• Wildfires — NASA FIRMS VIIRS thermal anomaly detections showing active fire fronts.
• Tropical cyclones, floods and severe weather — GDACS global hazard alerts with severity levels.
• United States disaster declarations and incident types via FEMA.
• Humanitarian emergencies, displacement and access reporting via ReliefWeb.
• Volcanic activity and other natural events through NASA EONET.

Why alerts belong on the same map as traffic

Disasters are logistics events as much as geophysical ones. An earthquake matters operationally because of the airport that closes, the port that stops working and the relief flights that start arriving. A wildfire perimeter matters because of the highway and the transmission corridor it crosses.

Because Tengri keeps aviation, maritime and camera layers on the same globe, the response to an event is visible next to the event itself — inbound humanitarian airlift, diverted shipping, and live imagery where cameras exist.

Timeliness and limits

Seismic alerts appear within minutes of USGS publication, and early magnitude estimates are frequently revised as more stations report. Fire detections depend on satellite overpass timing, so a new fire may not appear until the next pass. Alert feeds are informational and are not a substitute for official emergency instructions from local authorities.
