Understanding each country's level

This page brings together around 175 countries and their current level. The map colours each one by level: you can filter by level, show only countries in armed conflict, or only those with an active alert. Below the map, the list is searchable — type a country name to open its page and see the detail, the regions concerned and the alerts in progress. Everything here is free and public, with no account to create.

There are four levels: Calm, Moderate, High, Critical. Each one starts from a baseline: the median of the national advice levels published by 19 foreign ministries. It is a median, never the maximum of a single ministry, so one isolated advisory cannot shift a whole country. On top of that baseline, a temporary push is applied when a severe event is under way — a major earthquake, a tsunami, a cyclone, a red-level disaster — and it fades over a few days. Regions and cities can carry a different level from the country, following how official advice is zoned.

“In armed conflict” is not triggered by a news headline. It is a computed state: UCDP battle-death data, from 100 or more per month over two consecutive months to enter the category, with hysteresis to leave it, combined with ministry advice. A country stays in it until the intensity comes down and stays down.

The “active alerts” filter shows countries where an event in progress is reported by an official source: earthquake, tsunami, cyclone, severe weather. Around 60 sources are followed — USGS, NOAA, JMA, MeteoAlarm, the IFRC Alert Hub, national civil-protection feeds — and the whole set is rebuilt every 5 minutes. Only events at severity 3 and above become an alert.

Mira Safe is here to inform. It is not an emergency service and does not replace the official advice of your government. Coverage depends on the sources available: some countries and some events are better documented than others. Before you travel, read your foreign ministry's advice, and once there, follow the instructions of local authorities.
