Evidence comes first.
We collect published records from scientific and warning agencies. Each edition states what was collected, when it was collected and where its coverage falls short.

- Earthquakes: USGS events at magnitude 4.5 or greater. The largest event is highlighted. The pilot does not infer tsunami warnings from earthquakes.
- Disasters: GDACS cyclone and volcanic records, plus orange/red flood, wildfire and drought reports. GDACS earthquake duplicates are excluded.
- Space weather: NOAA SWPC issued bulletins. The site preserves their wording and distinguishes bulletin time from a physical event’s time.
- Tsunamis: published NOAA NTWC/PTWC messages, including information statements. These regions are not comprehensive worldwide coverage. Warnings must be checked with the issuing authority.
- NASA EONET: supporting natural-event records. GDACS-sourced entries are excluded to reduce duplication. Approximate geometry dates are labelled.
How a day is preserved
Each edition covers 00:00–24:00 UTC. The first day is partial because collection began during that day. The homepage shows the most recently collected edition, not a continuously verified warning service.
The collector checks feeds every 15 minutes. Cloud publication runs hourly and keeps the last complete edition if an update fails. Raw responses are retained with a content hash; event IDs and revisions are saved. Repeated collection updates a single dated edition without duplicating its records.
Dates in the future, malformed records and unsafe links are withheld. Failed feeds are marked unavailable, not counted as zero events. Older saved records remain available with their original dates.
Counts refer to records, not a complete count of disasters. Cross-source matches are conservative; sources can describe the same physical event differently.
There is no generated casualty or damage estimate, invented global danger score, or AI-written claim in this journal.
Coverage still to add
Smithsonian weekly volcano context; DONKI flare and CME records after its announced 30 September API migration; regional weather warnings; further tsunami and cyclone authorities. Missing coverage is not evidence of calm conditions.
