WHO outbreak news
- Ebola disease caused by Bundibugyo virus - Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kenya and Nigeria
- Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus - Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

WHO posts ~3.4 notices a month, so this list ignores the window above. Follow-ups are folded into
one outbreak. Case fatality ratio is WHO's own figure where stated, else deaths ÷ cases from the
same sentence; blank when the notice gives neither.

Weekly. "Usual" is the median of the same week in earlier years (dashed line), so seasonality is not mistaken for a surge; it appears once two earlier years exist. CDC (public domain) and ECDC (CC BY 4.0).

What this is. A live view of what public agencies have already published: USGS earthquakes
(M4.5+), GDACS multi-hazard alerts (quake, cyclone, flood, drought, wildfire, volcano), US National Weather
Service severe and extreme alerts, and NOAA space weather. Every dot keeps its source, timestamp and link.
Nothing here is forecast, scored or blended into an index — separate feeds stay separate.
Reading it. Counts are compared with the same category's own previous 30 days, so a region with constant flooding does not read as news. A "usual" rate needs our own collection history, not the feeds' backfill, so nothing is compared until seven days of polling have accumulated — until then the page says "baseline building". Alerts without coordinates (US zone-only warnings, and WHO notices naming a region rather than a country) are stored and listed but not plotted. "Alert level" is each feed's own wording ranked together: GDACS green/orange/red, NWS severe/extreme, and earthquakes by magnitude (M5+ notable, M6+ major) — GDACS posts hundreds of routine green wildfire notices, so the filter matters. Times are UTC.
