Recent major events

Disasters and disease outbreaks since 17 Nov 2025, compiled daily from structured official sources. The default view lists events with 100 or more reported deaths, newest first. All figures are PRELIMINARY and may change. Data last changed 15 Nov 2026.

ALERT LEVELS ARE FORECASTS, NOT COUNTS. GDACS and USGS PAGER alert levels are model estimates of likely impact issued within hours of an event. They are shown only as alert badges and are never used as a death toll. A death figure appears only when a source reports one; otherwise the entry says "Not yet reported". How this list is built

12 major events All 125 captured events are listed below; events with 100 or more reported deaths are marked MAJOR.
