Knowledge saves lives. This dashboard monitors hazards worldwide, with a focus on Southeast Asia. Learn what each data source means.
This dashboard tracks earthquakes worldwide (M5.0+ globally, M4.5+ in Southeast Asia) in real-time using USGS data. Southeast Asia sits on the Pacific Ring of Fire — the most seismically active zone on Earth — stretching from Indonesia through Japan, Kamchatka, Alaska, and down to Chile.
Magnitude scale: M4.5–4.9 Minor (felt locally) • M5.0–5.9 Moderate (can cause damage) • M6.0–6.9 Strong (destructive near epicenter) • M7.0+ Major (widespread destruction possible)
This dashboard tracks ~70+ active volcanoes worldwide, from Indonesia (~130 active, the most of any country) to Iceland, Italy, Japan, Kamchatka, Hawaii, and the Americas. Alert levels: Normal (background activity), Waspada (elevated unrest), Siaga (increasing likelihood of eruption), and Awas (eruption imminent or underway).
Volcanic hazards include pyroclastic flows, lahars (volcanic mudflows), ashfall, and volcanic tsunamis. The 2018 Anak Krakatau collapse triggered a deadly tsunami without seismic warning.
The Sun periodically releases massive bursts of charged particles called Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs). When these hit Earth's magnetic field, they can disrupt satellite communications, GPS, power grids, and aviation. Proton flux is measured in particle flux units (pfu) for particles with energy ≥10 MeV.
Thresholds: <1 pfu = Quiet • 10+ pfu = Solar Radiation Storm • 1000+ pfu = Severe (S3+) — radiation hazard for astronauts and high-altitude aviation.
The Kp index measures disturbance of Earth's magnetic field on a 0–9 scale. Higher values mean stronger geomagnetic storms, often triggered by CME impacts. Storms above Kp5 can cause aurora at lower latitudes, GPS errors, and power grid problems.
Scale: Kp 0-1 = Quiet • Kp 2-3 = Unsettled • Kp 4 = Active • Kp 5-6 = Storm (G1-G2) • Kp 7-9 = Severe Storm (G3-G5)
During shaking: DROP to hands and knees, take COVER under sturdy furniture, HOLD ON until shaking stops. Do NOT run outside during shaking.
If near coast: Strong shaking lasting >20 seconds = potential tsunami. Move immediately to high ground (30m+) or at least 2km inland. Do NOT wait for official warnings.
Prepare now: Keep an emergency kit (water, food, flashlight, radio, first aid). Know your evacuation routes. Share this dashboard with your community.
HAD View (Hazard Awareness Dashboard) is a free, open-access global tool designed to raise awareness about natural hazards affecting humanity. Starting from Southeast Asia and expanding worldwide, our mission is to make real-time hazard data accessible to everyone — because awareness is the first step toward survival.
Data is sourced from USGS (global earthquakes & tsunami flags), NOAA SWPC (solar/geomagnetic), Smithsonian GVP & BMKG/PVMBG (volcanoes). This is an informational tool — always follow official government warnings for evacuation decisions.
