Natural Disaster & Earthquake Tracker

A live worldwide feed of earthquakes, tropical cyclones, floods, volcanic eruptions, droughts, and wildfires, from the two official sources risk teams trust:

• USGS - the US Geological Survey's global earthquake catalog, updated every minute, with magnitude, depth, tsunami flags, and PAGER impact alerts
• GDACS - the UN/European Commission Global Disaster Alert and Coordination System, with Green/Orange/Red alert levels and severity assessments for everything else

One normalized row per event, whatever the type.

What you get

startedAt, updatedAt	When
url	Link to the official event report
source	USGS or GDACS

Run it as a monitor

Turn on dedupe and put the actor on a schedule (hourly, daily): every run returns only events it has not returned before. Quiet windows return nothing and cost nothing. That gives you a push-style disaster feed for:

• Supply chain and logistics risk: is anything happening near your suppliers, plants, or shipping routes? Filter by countries.
• Insurance and reinsurance: catastrophe awareness without an enterprise alerting contract.
• NGOs and relief organizations: Orange/Red alerts as they are issued.
• Travel safety products and news automation: structured events with coordinates, ready to map.

Filters

• eventTypes - track only what matters to you
• minMagnitude - earthquake floor (5 feels, 6 damages, 7 destroys)
• minAlertLevel - green for everything, orange/red for serious events only
• countries - substring match on the event location
• includeOngoing - droughts and floods run for weeks; include or exclude events that started before your window

Pricing

You pay per event row (disaster_row). The first 2 rows of every run are free, and runs that find nothing new cost nothing.

Input example

{
    "eventTypes": ["earthquake", "cyclone", "flood"],
    "minMagnitude": 5,
    "minAlertLevel": "orange",
    "countries": ["Japan", "Philippines", "Indonesia"],
    "dedupe": true
}

Notes

• Both sources are official, public, and keyless. No login, no browser.
• Earthquakes come exclusively from USGS; GDACS earthquake entries are skipped so the same quake never appears twice.
• GDACS alert levels can change as an event develops; with dedupe on you see each event once, at the alert level it had when first returned.
