Dangers Here

Know what's dangerous before you get there.

Dangers Here maps real-world hazards onto a world map, so you can see the risks around a place before you travel — and get warned if you walk into one.

WHAT'S ON THE MAP Over 1,000 hazard zones across 300+ hazard types: sharks, jellyfish, weever fish, stonefish and sea snakes; bears, wolves, crocodiles and hippos; ticks, mosquitoes and killer bees; rip currents, shorebreak and sharp coral; quicksand, sinkholes and landslides; earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, heatwaves and tropical cyclones; landmines and conflict zones; pickpocketing, mugging, methanol poisoning and dangerous roads. Famous destinations are covered too — the crowd crush at the Eiffel Tower, the heat at the Colosseum, the steep steps of the Great Wall.

Every zone shows a danger level, the area it covers, recent sightings or incidents where we have them, and plain advice on what to do.

ALERTS THAT FIND YOU Subscribe to the hazards you care about and the app watches for you in the background. Cross into a shark zone or a tick area and your phone tells you — no need to open the app.

WEATHER AND AIR QUALITY Forecasts, air quality, live rain radar and satellite imagery on the map. Set your own thresholds for wind, heat, cold and rain, and get a notification when the weather where you are turns.

WORKS WITHOUT SIGNAL The full hazard database ships inside the app. On a boat, in a desert, up a mountain with no bars — the map still works. When you get a connection again, new and updated hazards arrive automatically.

ALSO ON YOUR WRIST The Apple Watch app shows nearby hazards without reaching for your phone.

MORE • Save hazards and places to favourites • Emergency numbers for the country you are in • A hazard quiz with badges to earn • Available in English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Russian and Danish • No account and no sign-up needed

LOCATION AND ADS Your location is used to show hazards and weather around you. If you allow background location, the app can also warn you the moment you enter a hazard zone while it is closed — this is optional, and without it the map, hazard list, search and weather still work in full. Coordinates are sent to map and weather providers to fetch data for your area; no location history is uploaded to or stored on our servers. The app is free and shows non-personalised ads.

Dangers Here is an awareness and planning tool. It is not an emergency service and not a substitute for local warnings, official advisories, signage or your own judgement. In an emergency, call your local emergency number.
