Natural Hazards Monitor
Earthquakes, fires, storms and volcanoes, live on one map.
Combines real-time feeds from USGS and EMSC for earthquakes, NASA EONET for wildfires, storms, floods, dust and volcanoes, GDACS disaster alerts and, with a free key, NASA FIRMS active-fire detections.
Overview
Switch each feed on or off, set the time window and minimum magnitude, and see events sorted by time or by distance from you. Selecting an event opens its source record. Events export as GeoJSON for use in GIS.
