Each incident is pinned to the place it happened, with its type, severity, and how many outlets reported it. See a riot, a fire, or a road closure in the city your team is heading to, not just a country that is in the news.
Pick a country to read the US, UK, and Canadian travel advisories side by side, with their level from 1 to 4. Add official earthquake, disaster, and severe weather alerts to the same map.
A ticker lists the stocks and commodities that current incidents may affect, each marked as a likely tailwind, a likely headwind, or mixed. Hover an item to see the incidents behind it.
Turn on the kit and incidents appear on the map by type: armed conflict, protests and riots, shootings and attacks, fires and disasters, outages and closures, and political crises. The Live Wire lists the latest ones. Click a row to fly to it.
See the headline, a short summary, the place, the incident type, how severe it is, whether it is still active, and how many outlets reported it, with major outlets named. Click Save to map to keep it on your map as a regular marker.
Show only critical incidents, only city level events, or only the types you track. Pick the last day, week, or month. The panel counts the matching incidents and the map updates by itself.
The ticker across the top of the map lists the companies and commodities linked to current incidents. Hover one to see the incidents behind it, then click an incident to go to it on the map.

Try Scribble AI →It is a Scribble Maps kit that puts live incidents from around the world on your map. Each incident shows where it happened, how severe it is, how many outlets reported it, and which stocks and commodities it may affect. An Official Sources tab adds government travel advisories and official alerts for any country.
Six types: armed conflict, protests and riots, shootings and attacks, fires and disasters, outages and closures, and political crises such as coups and sanctions. Strikes, severe weather, and transport disruption are included too. Turn each type on or off in the kit panel.
Incidents are collected automatically from public news sources and grouped so one event shows once, with a count of the outlets that reported it. Major outlets are named; local outlets show as Local Source. Official alerts come from USGS for earthquakes, GDACS for disasters, and the US National Weather Service for severe weather. Travel advisories come from the governments of the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada.
Security and travel risk teams use it to watch the cities their people are traveling to. Operations and supply chain teams use it to spot fires, closures, and outages near their sites. Analysts and investors use it to see which companies and commodities a world event may touch.
Use it as an awareness tool, not as your only source. Coverage is automated, so incidents can be missed, reported late, or shown in the wrong place, and no incident on the map does not mean an area is safe. Always check official advisories, local authorities, and your security provider.
Each incident lists the companies and commodities it may affect, marked as a likely tailwind, a likely headwind, or a mixed effect. The ticker gathers them in one place. It is for research and awareness only. It is not investment, trading, or financial advice.
It is real time. New incidents appear on the map as they are reported, often 2 to 3 days or more before other providers pick them up. The kit refreshes by itself while it is open, and you can click Refresh now at any time. The live incidents are not saved with your map, so the map always shows the latest incidents when you open it. Incidents you keep with Save to map stay as regular markers.
Real-time incidents are part of the Pro Business plan, with longer time windows. On any plan, open the free Delayed feed to see every incident worldwide, 36 hours behind.
