42 layers

Country layers read the NXS-GRX (canonical data, provenance and risk) composite, pillars and twenty domain indices; hazard fields read the fourteen Hazard Standard domains; context layers are facts.

02Reading

How to read the map

Level shows the class of each value; Change shows the movement since the previous edition. Hazard fields are relative intensity, not loss.

Very low0.0 to < 2.0
Low2.0 to < 3.5
Medium3.5 to < 5.0
High5.0 to < 6.5
Very high6.5 to 10.0

A class is printed with its probability (share of Monte Carlo draws inside the class). Below 60% the adjacent class is printed too (for example High, 54% · Very high, 41%).

Overlays and their licences

Every overlay names its licence register row. Until NXS-GRX admits risksindex.com, every live overlay stays off and the map says why.

Live events and satellite imagery reach these pages only through NXS-GRX, which applies the licence registers and carries attribution; the browser never calls a provider directly.
