About the brief

How is the daily brief written?

Entirely from data the site already tracks: the archive of geocoded accident reports (ranked by a keyword and casualty score), the FAA, NHC, USGS, GDACS and tsunami feeds, and the GloFAS river outlook. Sentences are templated; no language model writes or speculates.

When is it published?

Every day at 06:00 UTC, covering the previous 24 hours. Past briefs stay online under /brief/YYYY-MM-DD.
