Plot only defensible coordinates.
Source point geometry is preserved. UCDP administrative centroids below the chosen precision threshold are excluded rather than made to look exact.
GLOBAL SOURCES // FREE + SOURCE ATTRIBUTED
SEE WHAT'S HAPPENING.
UNDERSTAND THE CONTEXT.
Switch between overview, hazards and higher-precision UCDP Candidate event records, then use regional views or marker focus to zoom without leaving the map section. The interface only plots coordinates the source can defend.
GLOBAL DATA VIEW // SOURCE ATTRIBUTED
GLOBAL OVERVIEW. DATA. CONTEXT.
USGS and NASA provide the scientific baseline. GDACS broadens the view with reported cyclones, floods, wildfires and droughts, while UCDP contributes monthly candidate records for research and context. Only higher-precision UCDP locations are plotted. Region presets and marker focus change the map view only; source coverage remains global.
Overview combines USGS earthquakes, NASA EONET volcanoes and source-attributed editorial context.

SOURCE AVAILABILITY IS NOT HAZARD STATUS
No marker, failed source or empty dataset is an all-clear. The map represents only what its underlying datasets contain.

Space weather is global/near-Earth context, so it is shown as status rather than a misleading map pin.

FIELD NOTE // These layers are situational-awareness data, not emergency instructions or forecasts for your household. During an incident, use the relevant local authority, emergency service or official warning service.
WHY THIS IS HERE
MORE COVERAGE WITHOUT MORE NOISE.
The interface separates dense specialist layers from the sparse overview. Hazard and conflict data remain source-attributed, while space-weather information stays in the format its geography supports instead of being forced into pins.
Keep specialist layers specialist.
Overview stays sparse; hazards and conflict get their own views. NOAA context stays off-map because it is not a local point event.
Open the source before acting.
A marker is an observation or research record, not an instruction. Use official local warnings and emergency services for decisions during an incident.
MAP DATA // NOT AN EMERGENCY WARNING SERVICE // Map events, locations and third-party updates can be delayed, incomplete or unavailable. Do not infer safety from an empty map. Use the official warning authority for your area. Usage & limitations
