This site gives guidance people may follow in an emergency. That demands a higher standard than a blog, and these are the rules we hold ourselves to.
1 · Source hierarchy. For safety, health and emergency topics we use, in this order:
- Official agencies of the country concerned (civil protection, weather services, health authorities).
- International scientific agencies of record: NASA, NOAA, USGS, WHO, and specialist networks such as IVHHN or IAWN.
- Universities and research centres with public output.
- Never: social media chains, unsourced blogs, or figures we cannot trace to their origin.
2 · Every section shows its sources. At the end of each block of a guide there is a "Official sources for this section" panel with a direct link to the document the recommendation comes from. If a claim has no source behind it, it does not get published.
4 · Visible dates. Every guide shows when it was last updated. Emergency guidance changes, and an undated guide is one you cannot rely on.
5 · Corrections. If you find a wrong figure, write to lianawebs8@gmail.com naming the page and, if you can, the correct source. We fix it and update the date. We do not quietly delete errors.
7 · Independence. No advertiser, brand or affiliate programme decides what we recommend. Products shown in a guide are chosen for their usefulness in that specific crisis, and are labelled as affiliate links when they are. If we cannot find a product worth recommending for a section, that section stays empty: we prefer a gap to filler.
