What this page counts

This list mixes very different kinds of statement: official warnings from weather services, instrumental measurements of earthquakes, satellite detections nobody has looked at, and humanitarian situation reports. Each entry says which it is. They are not equivalent, and a long list is not by itself a sign of a bad day.

This site does not issue events

Warnings and evacuation orders come from national agencies. This site collects what they publish and does not issue anything of its own.
