NASA EONET (Natural Events)

No authnasa-eonet

NASA EONET (Earth Observatory Natural Event Tracker) — a curated, near-real-time feed of named natural events (wildfires, severe storms, volcanoes, floods, and more across 13 hazard categories) with consolidated geometry, to overlay active natural hazards against energy assets (wells, pipelines, platforms, transmission).
