In order to find the single crisis that you seek or for surfing through current and past natural disasters we provide you a list, starting with the newest crises. The list allows you to filter by different criteria, e.g. by crises type or alert level.

Another possibility to visualize the latest crises is the map. It shows the last few natural disasters. The icon shows you which type of natural disaster occurred in this area and the color of the circle around shows the alert level (green, orange or red). If you right-click on the map (in a radius of 100km) you can select from one of the following actions:

Add Image

You are redirected to the Multimedia tab related to the crisis near the location where you have clicked.

Report Person

You are redirected to the Missing People tab related to the crisis near the location where you have clicked.

Report Location

You are redirected to the Locations tab related to the crisis near the location where you have clicked.

Annotation As map data source OpenStreetMap is used. OpenStreetMap is a community driven map platform. During bigger natural disasters the community has re-drawn the affected areas in a really short time after the crises occurred (hours).

This page allows you to get more information about a single natural disaster event. You can actively participate and/or get the following type of information:

General

This tab contains all crises information from official sources and lets you comment this event.

Multimedia

The multimedia tab allows you to upload images (in the near future also videos) that are related to this event. Feel free to document the natural disaster or the destruction afterwards.

Missing People

This tab can be used if you are searching for a person or if you have found somebody that searches for his loved once. Each missing person has a related status that classifies him/her as missing, found or death. Additional each person has a related image and other information that helps to recognize him/her.

Locations

The locations tab is used to report facilities and there status. For example you can report that the hospital near your current location is destroyed. This helps other people that need medical help to get directly to a hospital that is intact.
