"This page automatically reloads every 420 seconds. [...] About GlobalIncidentMap.com This free public service website was created [in Oct 2006] to give the public, law enforcement, military, and government individuals a new way to visualize, and become instantly aware of terrorism and security incidents across the world. While this website employs much automation, the news gathering itself is not automated - news items are located, reviewed, and manually entered into the database. [...] The map was designed and concieved [sic- ed.] by the publisher of www.TerroristWarning.com , Morgan Clements - with inspiration garnered from the RSOE Havaria Information Service AlertMap, the federal map systems used by FEMA, and other types of incident maps. [...] GlobalIncidentMap.com and its publishers do NOT receive any funding from any foreign or domestic government entities, nor any special interest, religious, or political groups.
Frequently Asked Questions: [...] [Q:] How Accurate is the Map Data? [A:] We make no guarantees as to the accuracy or validity of any news items we link to [...]
[Q:] Is the information on this map open source? [A:] We consider every incident and event on this map to be OSINT ( open source ), consequently this map is open to the public as well as all law enforcement, government, and military users. As a general rule we will not post non-osint material at this location.
[Q"] Is every incident on this map connected to terrorism? [A:] We don't know - we include any incident or event that we think may have a connection to terrorism, which includes things like bomb or anthraxĂhoaxes - because we feel that not only can we learn from hoaxes but because we believe a small number of them may be 'dry runs'. We may also include links to items which are of significant concern, such as a major disease outbreak, even if we feel it has no connection to terrorism. We include known terrorist acts, suspected terrorist acts, other events which we deem suspicious or otherwise potentially threatening to the public, including non-terror incidents such as accidental chemical plant explosions. We include items WE think are suspicious, you may feel differently, we suggest reviewing each item individually and arriving at your own conclusion."
