This is the world as it is, not a forecast. There is no scenario and no prediction here. Everything on this page is either happening right now - pulled live from public feeds every two minutes - or it is the latest published measurement, with its source named. Governments and institutions already collect all of it. It is scattered across a hundred portals, in formats built for specialists. This site compiles it into one view and gives it back.
Earthquakes - USGS, worldwide, magnitude 2.5+, as they happen. Disasters - GDACS (UN OCHA and the European Commission): cyclones, floods, volcanoes, wildfires, droughts, with alert levels. Wildfires, storms and icebergs - NASA EONET, every open natural event the agency is tracking from orbit. Air quality and weather - Copernicus CAMS and Open-Meteo, anywhere you click, with PM2.5 measured against the WHO guideline. Rain - live radar, refreshed every ten minutes. Space weather - NOAA planetary K index, the geomagnetic state that threatens grids and satellites. Surveillance cameras - live from OpenStreetMap for whatever area you are viewing.
The birth and death counters are the one derived figure on this page: they run from the UN's published rates, because nobody counts humanity in real time. The rate is the honest part - that is how fast it is actually moving.
Press DIVE IN and switch layers, top right. Esri is sharp enough to count cars but the imagery is months to years old. NASA is yesterday's actual satellite pass (VIIRS, 250 m) - coarse, but it is the freshest whole-Earth imagery that exists in public, and you can watch cloud and smoke move day to day. Rain falling now is live precipitation radar, refreshed every ten minutes from the world's public weather radars.
Green markers are government cameras that are genuinely public and expose an open image - New York City's Traffic Management Center alone publishes 950+ street cameras. Click one and it plays in place, picture in picture, refreshing every few seconds, with a link to the operator's own page if you want to leave. Nothing is proxied or restreamed: the image comes straight from the agency that publishes it. Amber markers are camera networks that require their own page. Red markers are the plate readers, which publish nothing.
Click anywhere and you also get the soil beneath it, from ISRIC SoilGrids: fertility, pH, organic carbon and texture. Iowa farmland comes back "rich, pH 6.5, loam"; the Sahara comes back "very poor, alkaline". Where a river runs through the point, its discharge is shown from the Copernicus global flood service.
Click anywhere on the globe and the left panel becomes that country: proven oil, gas and coal, clean-electricity share, fresh water total and per person, grain grown, farmland, forest cover, carbon emitted in total and per person, share of world emissions, and its signature minerals - the cobalt, copper, lithium, phosphate and rare earths the modern world actually runs on. Rankings show where it sits among the countries profiled.
Each country also shows what it spends on war - its military budget, that budget as a share of its own economy, its share of world military spending, and its nuclear warheads. The world holds about 12,100 warheads across nine states, and spends roughly $2.7 trillion a year on arms. The WAR layer marks the major active conflicts - who is fighting whom, since when, and an estimated death toll. Those fatality figures are the one thing on this site that is genuinely contested: warring parties dispute them and no count is authoritative, so ranges are shown, sourced to UCDP, ACLED and the International Crisis Group. Military spending is SIPRI; warhead counts are the FAS Nuclear Notebook. When a live conflict-event feed is reachable (UCDP, or ACLED with a key), individual lethal events are plotted too.
LIVE CAMS are genuinely public webcams; click one to watch on its owner's official page. WATCHERS are automated license-plate readers - 126,000+ of them, mapped by volunteers in OpenStreetMap via the DeFlock project, and loaded live for whatever area you look at in the dive map. They have no public feed: they read you, you cannot watch them. We map every one so the watching is at least not invisible. If a camera is going to record your movements, you should be able to see it on a map. That is the transparency this project stands for - it is not, and will not be, a way into a feed that is not yours to access.
"Where is that camera?" and "who operates surveillance here?" are different questions, and PANR carries a separate source for each. WATCHERS (red) is DeFlock's work, published through OpenStreetMap: volunteers photograph and map individual plate readers, street by street, so the layer shows an actual device on an actual pole. We query it live for whatever area you are viewing - the same well DeFlock's own map draws from, so their volunteers' work shows up here the moment it is mapped. Who operates it: click any US location and the card also lists the EFF Atlas of Surveillance record for that state and county - 15,071 records, 7,751 agencies, built by the Electronic Frontier Foundation with the Reynolds School of Journalism from public records requests, news reports and government documents. It answers what each police force actually runs: not just plate readers but drones, face recognition, cell-site simulators, predictive policing, gunshot detection, real-time crime centres and fusion centres, with the vendor named and a source document for each entry. Flock Safety alone appears 2,708 times.
Those points sit at the operating agency's city, not at a device - an inventory, not a map of hardware. Both layers are cited, and both are volunteer and journalist labour that governments could have published themselves and did not.
Three things are stated plainly rather than faked. Satellite imagery is dated stills, not live video - no live satellite view of the whole planet exists, for anyone. Emissions are not streamed by the metre - the best public record is national inventories plus facility-level estimates, updated periodically, not second by second. There is no global real-time noise data - sound is measured in scattered city projects and periodic EU mapping, so it is not shown rather than invented. Where a number is a latest-published measurement rather than a live reading, its source and vintage are named below.
Dashboards like this are usually built for ministries and markets, with people entered as an input line called "resources". This one is built the other way around. People are not resources. The oil, the copper, the grid, the compute - those are resources. The 8.26 billion are not, and the data about the world they live in belongs to them.

Count the surveillance actually around you right now. Tap the button and your device asks your permission to share your location - it is used only to look up nearby public records, and never stored.
In May 2026, researchers at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology showed that ordinary Wi-Fi routers can identify a specific person by how radio waves reflect off their body - roughly 100% accuracy across 197 people, with no phone, no wearable, and through walls. It reads "beamforming feedback" that devices and routers already exchange unencrypted. The scientists published it as a warning: Wi-Fi is everywhere and invisible, and they fear governments using it to track protesters and citizens covertly. The fix belongs in the coming Wi-Fi standard (IEEE 802.11bf) - until then, every router is a potential body-scanner.
Your home router may be broadcasting a second, public "xfinitywifi" hotspot that strangers connect through - more antennas, more exposure, none of it yours. Turn it off:
Turning off the public hotspot shrinks the surveillance surface around your home. It does not disable Wi-Fi sensing on routers you do not control - which is exactly why the researchers are demanding the 802.11bf privacy fix. Ask your representatives for it.
65,463 people were held in ICE detention on the last published day of data (Mar 10, 2026), across 365 sites - dedicated centers, county jails, hold rooms, hotels and hospitals. Since Jan 20, 2025 at least 55 people have died in custody - 33 in 2025 alone, the most in over two decades, and 22 more by mid-July 2026. That is one death roughly every 9 days, a mortality rate (8.4 per 10,000) higher than the worst year of the pandemic. There is no official count of the missing: DHS says no one is unaccounted for, yet reporters found ~800 of ~1,800 people at one Florida site gone from ICE's own locator, and a media-sourced tracker lists 5,784 people reported disappeared into the system. Every documented facility, its population and its deaths are on the map - dive in and turn on the ICE detention facilities layer. If someone you love has vanished into this system, FIND SOMEONE is the playbook for tracing them.
126,000+ automated cameras logging where your car goes - already mapped on this site (the WATCHERS layer). They read you; you cannot watch them.
Public and private cameras matched against face databases scraped from social media - identifying you in a crowd with no consent and no notice.
Devices that impersonate a cell tower so nearby phones connect and reveal their location and identity - used with little public oversight.
Companies that buy your phone's location history from apps and sell it - to advertisers, and to governments that would otherwise need a warrant.
Write down, today, while memory is fresh: their full name and every spelling the government might have typed (two last names, swapped order, hyphens or accents dropped), date of birth, country of birth, and the A-number if they ever had immigration paperwork (8-9 digits, on any notice or card). Then the arrest itself: date, time, exact place, witnesses, what the officers said, agency markings on vests and vehicles. Save texts and voicemails. Every call you make from now on: note the date, number, and the name of who answered.
ICE detainee locator - locator.ice.gov. Search by A-number + country of birth, or name + country of birth. The name must match the government's entry exactly, typos included - try every variant. New arrests can take days to appear, so not listed does not mean not held. Re-check daily and screenshot every result; entries have been known to appear and then vanish.
Ask the courts - the immigration court system keeps its own records at acis.eoir.justice.gov or by phone at 800-898-7180 (automated, 24 hours, needs the A-number). A court case is proof the person is in the system even when the locator shows nothing.
Phone the field office - every facility on our map shows its ICE field office. Find the office for where they were taken at ice.gov/contact/field-offices and call it directly; the national line is 866-347-2423. Ask where the person is held and write down exactly what is said.
Check the other custody systems - people are moved between them. County jail rosters (many county jails hold ICE detainees - the purple markers on our map), the federal Bureau of Prisons at bop.gov/inmateloc, and the US Marshals via the local district. If they were near the border, CBP holds people with no public locator at all - call 877-227-5511.
Call their consulate - the consulate of their country of citizenship has a treaty right to locate and visit its nationals in US custody, and consulates answer to families. This lever is old, boring, and it works. If the person may already have been deported, the consulate and family at home are also the first to know.
Get help on the phone - Freedom for Immigrants runs a national hotline for families at 209-757-3733 (from inside a detention facility the free speed-dial is 9233#). Their step-by-step toolkit: lost in detention.
Get a lawyer looking - free and low-cost help at immigrationadvocates.org, private counsel at ailalawyer.com. A lawyer can file for records you cannot.
Make it public record - a disappearance that is published is a disappearance that can be traced. Call the tip line of the local newspaper where the arrest happened; reporters have repeatedly found people the locator would not show. The United States Disappeared Tracker maps cases validated by published sources - local reporting is exactly what feeds it.
