What is the risk level in my area right now?

There is no single official "risk level for my area" — governments publish country-level advisories, weather services publish storm warnings, and police publish crime statistics, but nobody combines them. That's the gap this tool fills: it merges a curated city baseline (crime, health, political stability, transport, environment, digital security, money safety) with live public-source data — Open-Meteo weather and air quality, the US State Department advisory, GDACS disaster alerts, CDC health notices, and Google News headlines — into one 0–100 composite with a plain-English tier: Low (0–24), Moderate (25–49), Elevated (50–69), or Extreme (70–100). Every number is explained and every live claim cites its source — see the full methodology.

1. "I'm here now" — a quick safety check for the city you're in tonight: what to watch for, local emergency numbers, and any active alerts. Run it →

2. "I already arrived" — an on-trip briefing for the next 24 hours at your destination, tuned to your traveler profile. Run it →

3. No form at all — open your city's standing risk file directly from the destinations index; every covered city has a public page with its current score, live conditions, and emergency numbers.

It can tell you how your location compares on the nine measurable risk categories, whether there's an active disaster alert or advisory change affecting you, what today's environmental conditions are, and which precautions matter most tonight. It cannot see hyper-local, street-level incidents in real time, and it is never a substitute for local emergency services or official instructions during an emergency — if something is happening around you right now, call the local emergency number (look yours up in the emergency numbers reference) and follow official guidance.

Is this based on my GPS location?
No. You type your city — nothing tracks your device location. No signup is required and searches are logged with hashed IPs only.

How fresh is the data?
Weather and air quality refresh every 30 minutes, disaster alerts every 30 minutes, advisories every 6 hours, health notices every 12 hours, and news hourly.

Does it work for small towns?
Yes — if your town isn't in the catalog yet, the search offers to add it automatically (coordinates via Open-Meteo geocoding), and scoring falls back to the country baseline until the city file is reviewed.

Is it free?
Yes, completely. Optional accounts only add saved trips and watchlists.
