Hey, good, I want to review some sources of information I've, I've got, I've got hundreds of these would take me weeks to go through each one. So these are the most interesting ones. These are the ones that are most useful. This one here as returns to taxes free, you'll see the link up here and usual place and it's extremely useful. So it covers the whole world goes through terrorist attacks and a breakdown of recent incidents if you're looking for somewhere in particular. Let's have a look at one country no one is choose Let's go looking for it on the map.

Okay, here's Nigeria, this just out of general interest because I've just been looking at the country, the North East up here suffers some terrible problems as the country boundaries in drill down. And you can even click on the incidents and it gives you the incident type over here on the left. So you can use this map to support reports, for instance, security reports. The more detail in here. Oh, thank goodness. There we go.

Harm to children and soldiers killed. And this search parameters are just 2019 up to August. So you can see there's quite a few degree. There's quite a lot. So if you're doing a security report or a threat report for travelers going to my degree, for instance, you've got a good idea of what goes on up there. Boko Haram, Boko Haram fatalities are high Boko Haram.

So they're obviously under a lot of pressure up there. Look, the population. The Times is 29. For no state, their teen 20 Yeah, Terrible. Terrible attack levels. So that's great, and it covers anywhere.

As you can see from the world map, it comes anywhere and ever Somalia I guess well, this is Afghanistan, Syria, so your audio hotspots, but also your quiet spots. So you can say it's safe or it's not safe. And it's not safe because there's been hundreds and hundreds of incidents, and so on so far. So this is a very useful tool, we could cut and paste the the map and use that to enhance your report quite considerably. This is one that I've just been using just trialing lis So, but I found it extremely, extremely useful. It's similar.

So it's a mapping system, you got different maps. Look, there we go. Different map types. Satellite, for instance, there we go. Maps, satellite streets, get a better idea of who's doing who's what we're not very clear if you're using it for reports, for instance. So you'd use something maybe like this.

But the difference between this one and the entry one is they collate all the incidents around the world. So it's a worldwide map. But also you can use it for routes, for instance, a route study. So if you're going from some plot waypoints, now you just learning this so this is something to do every second, get a mix through three, draw the route. Okay, and then we're going to look at incidents such incidents timeline of the last quarter and such on that probably I'm going through the whole world's worth of incidents that have popped up now go. So if we're traveling from south to north east, for instance, pulled us out.

A mouse is a little bit trigger happy at the moment. So we've got a list of instance now from here to my degree and over to the east and you can see the start would be a buildup of incident types and we can click on those potentially no there we go born the right weapons ambush well that's important if we're traveling I've been much joy with the clicking to me right now it's pretty percent specific as well. Yeah, much look for the operator. So check this one out. Huh? course it was working earlier.

No, it doesn't. The incident until right So you can you can, I've done it once so you can check out the incidents it tells you what they are you can also change the map a little bit so you can have clusters so whether a clusters you got three incidents or three instances 22111 so as far as lower here we have close to close to of course the closer to my degree you get and then the more likely you are to be attacked or run into a situation so you also got nice Nicholson how to get rid of that shoot. Do you know what i did that there we go got rid of that anyway. You starting a heat map so one heat map at the moment. And remember, I'm just trialing this so I'm just getting used to and you can see there the effects and the spread of where these incidents are.

This is great for reporting few put together route study from here to here to here. This shows you quite clearly where the threat shot and you can stick it on the different maps. What's this look like? So the travel is the drive is the secured secured team can see quite clearly where the main areas of trouble Ah, that's your heat map that covers the whole world. Down below, you've got some graphs that you can pull out because it covers the whole world. So the data at the moment is, is a little bit overloaded and under several radius a little bit.

So you can that's a bit clearer, you can start, see where the hotspots are. So you're looking at some serious problems. If you're sending stuff around the world. This is a good example of, you know, what, what to what to avoid. So Pakistan, Pakistan, Afghanistan, obviously without much surprise down to the south and South border Afghanistan up towards Cumberland north, the North, looking at lots of problems scenarios in Pakistan, Bangladesh, Myanmar and close to the borders, the pole. And where else we're going to get it Cambodia, there are clusters and these are instance for the just this year, and 23rd of may 2019 22nd of August 2019.

So just a relatively short period. There's lots of things going on around around the world as far as avoidance goes, and then you've got a huge cluster around this part of West Africa as part of East Africa and on down the border into South South Africa. But this, I didn't filter out the incidents. So this covers all types of incidents. Subsequent Look at the incidence error incident criminality balling grenades in their weapons maritime protests suicide complex. So if you take out suicide protests for instance, hazards could be natural disasters and we don't want that maritime not that interested.

Stick out other as well see what we see what you find. Holy smoke, there's nothing no it's searching pretty much the same. Okay, so there are pretty kinetic incidents, suicide indirect weapons, grenades, direct weapons, criminality and bombing, which are probably from security perspective, or all what you're you're interested in. This is a good website if you're in Southeast Asia South Asia tourism portal There's the link just up there. sctp.org. And this covers a lot of your countries Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, and the beauty of it is you get a lot of information.

And again, it's free. So this goes through your instance you can you can pull these out, put them in the spreadsheet, it goes through, see some data sheets are interesting to Pakistan. And you can you can build data, good data from this video in sort of historic levels of incidents, suicide attacks, graph views. So it's very useful source of information if you're interested in these countries. The other one I've looked at, looked at frequently. Solutions look at Nigeria again.

FCO website is very good. Gives you general information but gives you a head start. If you go into a new area, for instance, this useful map, showing the threat levels, goes through safety and security gives you a brief on what safety and security is, according to the British Foreign Commonwealth Office terrorism, so it's very useful. Another one, which is very useful for travelers, and also people making assessments if you're making a threat assessment in your country. This is a good baseline. It's pretty good information.

Got some good travel advice tells you where to go. Not to go. Because you want to do in certain circumstances. So there's a map you see what's the difference between where the Australians perceived threats are and the British, which is interesting. And here's a good breakdown. Just click on see what it says we're advised against old travel, travel, pay close attention to personal security near in the yellow areas, Nigeria overall.

So it gives some very good advice. There's natural disasters. And talking about natural disasters, there's a good site. Excuse me, I thought I had this up. But disaster mapping, there we go. You can look at various locations as Jakarta in Indonesia and it will tell you about wildfires.

River floods give you some mapping Earthquakes, very useful. tsunamis. And of course, you can go from country to country that's try for Nigeria. Again, I'm not picking on Nigeria, but that's the one we, we started off in. So it tells you they're all natural disaster threats high. So it does mostly work for you.

Low very low for earthquakes. That's a positive coastal floods. Let's look at the map for that. Okay, and the rest of the countries very low for coastal floods, as you would expect. So there's some there's some good sites out there you can use. I would recommend having a look at any of those find maps, use maps, find data, use that majority of its free, make sure that the source is pretty good.

You don't want to use any old crap source, but you know, sources like this that are listing all the instance round the world on your behalf is very good. Even if you just focus in on one country, even if you're just interested in South Sudan, for instance. And it's valuable, it's free information. So you might as well make make good use of it. So that's pretty much what I have for you as far as using data mapping. There's there's a ton of stuff out there.

I'm going to do some more. But thanks very much for your time.
