Global Incident Map

This free public service website was created to give the public, law enforcement, military, and government individuals a new way to visualize, and become instantly aware of terrorism and security incidents across the world.

It was created by the publishers of and as a continuation of our efforts to contribute to the Global War on Terrorism.

The map was designed and concieved by the publisher of , Morgan Clements -- with inspiration garnered from the RSOE Havaria Information Service AlertMap, the federal map systems used by FEMA, and other types of incident maps.
