Know what's happening.
Know where to look.

U.S. weather and flood resources, worldwide earthquake and disaster maps, alert directories, and local planning links—organized in one place. These buttons open the official map providers, not Technicade-hosted live hazard data.

For emergencies: Follow your local emergency management agency, your country's emergency number and official evacuation orders. Shelter availability changes; a map marker is not proof a facility is currently accepting people. These websites require an internet connection. Download/print a local map and contact sheet while your connection works.
All U.S. states and territories

Emergency resources for every state and territory

Choose any of the 50 states, Washington D.C. or five territories to open the appropriate emergency management agency and road-travel provider, then find nationwide weather, shelter and flood resources. Save a state-specific reference sheet for offline planning.

Choose the area relevant to you. This directory does not issue live warnings or determine your location.

Worldwide and every U.S. region

Find trusted resources wherever you live

Find a place on a map

Open a map for any city, region or country

Enter a location to open OpenStreetMap in a new tab. This is for streets and orientation—not a verified emergency shelter or hazard map. Your search text is shared with OpenStreetMap only when you click Search; Technicade does not store it.

For an offline street map, open the result and use the map provider's print or export features where offered, or print a local paper map ahead of time.

Offline readiness

Make a paper map kit

Before an outage, download or print a map from the provider for your own region, then mark two meeting points, a backup evacuation route, known safe shelter options confirmed by local officials, pharmacy, hospital and relatives. Also print this plan's contact information. Remember that emergency routes and shelter locations can change.

Source notes

Trusted maps, not invented data

Our source and corrections policy explains the difference between external map links and verified real-time local alerts.

Resource directory checked November 3, 2026. Clicking a card opens the independent agency site with its own data timestamps, terms and availability. Technicade does not track live shelter occupancy, wildfire perimeters or road closures. If a link is broken or an agency changes its map, report it to support@technicade.tech.
