Question 1

What signals appear near England?

Accepted Answer

Signals are matched using public location fields (region/province/state) in each publisher notice. Geography may be broad.

Question 2

What does "official" mean on OutbreakThreat?

Accepted Answer

Official signals are tied to a primary publisher such as a national health agency, WHO Disease Outbreak News, or a state health department notice. We still expect you to read the original page for full context.

Question 3

What is the difference between an outbreak signal and a confirmed outbreak?

Accepted Answer

A signal is a dated, sourced public notice we can point to—often an investigation update, advisory, or surveillance uptick. It is not the same as a final case count or a declared outbreak classification; agencies refine wording over time.

Question 4

How often is outbreak data updated?

Accepted Answer

Public pages refresh on a short cache window. New items appear after ingestion runs or manual admin verification with a source URL. Reporting agencies themselves publish on their own cadence.

Question 5

Can I get alerts for my home, school, or business?

Accepted Answer

Paid plans let you save watch locations with a radius and receive email alerts when active signals match your rules. The global map and alert listing stay open without a subscription.
