RADIO · LIVE · RIGHT NOW
Tune into where it’s happening
Somewhere on Earth right now the ground is shaking, a storm is coming ashore, or a river is over its banks — and a local station is on the air through it. This is a live feed of the world’s current hazards, each matched to the nearest real broadcaster you can tune into, so you hear the place in its own voice as the event unfolds. It’s the same planet the listening globespins — pointed, now, at wherever the news is happening.

Live hazards from GDACS (Global Disaster Alert and Coordination System) · matched to the nearest Living Radio city · distances are true great-circle kilometres, shown as-is
How this works
The events come from GDACS— the Global Disaster Alert and Coordination System, a free UN–European Commission service that publishes the world’s active earthquakes, tropical cyclones, floods, volcanoes, wildfires and droughts with a Green / Orange / Red alert level. We match each one to the nearest of the 187 Living Radio cities and show you the true distancein kilometres — a station two hundred kilometres from a quake is never dressed up as being “at” it. When the nearest listenable city is too far to honestly call local, the event is still listed — just without a tune-in. Tap TUNE INand the city’s top-voted station plays straight from the broadcaster’s own servers, its real local clock ticking beside it.
