What is happening in the world right now
Every dot is a tracked event: an earthquake from USGS, a flood or cyclone alert from GDACS, a wildfire from NASA, a headline the world is reading, a scheduled election or a fight card. Events with published coordinates are drawn where they happen; the rest are aggregated onto the country marker and the country cards below. Click a country — on the map, in the list, or in the grid — to read its events.

How this map is built
- Precise locations. USGS earthquake feeds, GDACS disaster alerts and NASA EONET natural events all publish coordinates, so those events are drawn at the exact point (and a magnitude / alert level is shown in the popup).
- Country level. Wikipedia's Current events digest, Wikidata scheduled events and the GDELT news index describe events without coordinates. Those are attributed to a country — and to a city when one is named — and otherwise aggregated on the country marker, so nothing is lost from the picture.
- Refresh cadence. Hazard sources (earthquakes, cyclone / flood / wildfire alerts, NASA natural events) are polled every 10 minutes; the full sweep — world news, Wikipedia digests, Wikidata schedules — runs once a day.
- Open data. The whole map is driven by /api/events.json and /api/countries.json.
