PrepAlert

PrepAlert shows you official warnings for where you are, and with Pro also for home, family or your holiday address. Severe storm, flood, earthquake, tsunami or wildfire: you get a notification when an official agency issues a warning (usually within minutes), an update when it changes, and a message when it is lifted.

News comes only from official and open sources whose licence allows reuse: Rijksoverheid, GOV.UK, ECDC, EU Commission, Protezione Civile, Global Voices, US State Dept. No commercial news media. World tension counts reports about war and defence; it is a measurement of the news, not a prediction.
Coverage differs by country.
