DATA SOURCES & CREDITS
Data sources and acknowledgements
Hazard Orbit credits the following public agencies and open-data projects. Source names are factual attribution only and do not mean that an agency approves, sponsors or recommends this product.
How data is handled
The product normalises fields, translates some place context, merges duplicate reports and creates visual simulations. Impact ranges, incident grades and cross-source correlation are Hazard Orbit presentation-layer results, not official conclusions published by the source agency.
Important boundary
This page records the current engineering licence assessment and attribution method; it is not legal advice. Source licences and API policies can change and are rechecked before releases. Unclear sources remain disabled.
