The Global Disaster Alert and Coordination System (GDACS) continues to provide real-time alerts and information exchange for disaster managers worldwide. Recent alerts include floods and flash floods reported in the last 24 hours, highlighting the system's role in facilitating timely responses to sudden-onset disasters.

These developments underscore the ongoing challenges and efforts in disaster management globally, emphasizing the need for coordinated international responses and resilient infrastructure to mitigate the impacts of natural disasters.

GDACS is a cooperation framework between the United Nations, the European Commission and disaster managers worldwide to improve alerts, information exchange and coordination in the first phase after major sudden-onset disasters.

Upon going to their website, you will be able to view the entire world map's geographical view and the disaster alerts in the past 4 days. You can zoom in and zoom out to view whichever part of the map you need to view. You will also find a table with the following disaster topics, Earthquakes, Tropical Cyclones, Floods, Volcanoes, Droughts and Forest Fires, along with the statistics of the disasters.

You will also find maps and satellite imagery of the selected locations in the world map.
