Measured by FirmTape's own collectors from public data. A normal needs history before it means anything, so a young series says when it will be ready instead of drawing a line. No chart for a sector means no collector sees that country, not that it is calm.

What this page is not. It does not predict anything and it does not beat the news: almost every record here is published openly and reaches reporters the same minute it reaches this page. Where the slow signals come from. Internet outages, military aviation, emptied airspace, GPS interference and ship traffic are measured on our own collector server and publish only after each has learned its normal. Alerts by email, Telegram or webhook, and the records through an API and MCP, are on the Geo plans. Rows marked backfill came from a source's own history rather than from live collection, so they never count toward how fast we saw something.

A source that stops answering does not go quiet here. Its rows stop and this list says when it was last heard from, because no data is not the same as nothing happening.

Times are New York (ET), like every page on this site. US federal records are public domain, UK advice is Open Government Licence, GDACS and Wikimedia carry Creative Commons terms, conflict deaths are from the Uppsala Conflict Data Program (UCDP GED Candidate, CC BY 4.0). Every row links to the record it came from and nothing is republished as a bulk feed. This week as JSON (times in UTC, each item marked routine or not; every week)
