    How the scores work

    Meridian reads open wires — BBC, Al Jazeera, The Guardian, France 24, Deutsche Welle, UN News, and Google News — plus GDACS disaster alerts and USGS earthquakes. A place rises when recent reporting is severe, not because of a fixed index. Local-language headlines are machine-translated into English. Bluesky is filtered for all-caps posts and obvious junk. X is scanned only when you ask, with the same filter. This is a situational reading, not a government travel advisory. Quiet means these feeds are quiet, not that a place is safe.
