Access class note

Public web, file, catalog, or documented endpoint access with no paid gate implied in the source profile.

Used in layers

page reference only

Useful fields

hazard type, severity/status, affected area, geometry/layer, timestamp, warning text, sensor/source, update time

Reliability rating

High for official context; validate endpoint availability before automation.

Runtime truth

Runtime role

Catalog only

Production ready

Not yet

Entity scope

No runtime entity scope yet.

Observation scope

No live observation ingestion yet.

Decision scope

Not wired into active decisions yet.

Runtime note

Profiled in the atlas and public pages, but not yet connected to live graph computation.

How this helps travel recommendations

Adds flood, fire, drought, earthquake, tsunami, hotspot, and disaster context when a route, coast, road, or outdoor plan could become unsafe or unrealistic.

Developer reference

Best endpoint

Use official disaster feeds, hazard APIs, WMS/WFS layers, or event feeds; keep geometry and severity separate from the text summary.

Recommended refresh

Refresh every 15-60 minutes, with caching and backoff when the upstream fails.

Travel scoring role

Adds flood, fire, drought, earthquake, tsunami, hotspot, and disaster context when a route, coast, road, or outdoor plan could become unsafe or unrealistic.

Comparable / backup source

GISTDA, DDPM, GDACS, NASA FIRMS, USGS, TMD earthquake feeds, Thaiwater, and local authority announcements.

Example request

# Verify the documented disaster endpoint before production use.
curl -L "https://disaster.gistda.or.th/" -H "Accept: application/json"

Failure modes

  • Hazard layers can be geospatial, tiled, or projection-specific.
  • Event feeds may lag official local announcements.
  • Dashboard-only layers may change markup or token behavior.
  • Geospatial layers can be large, tiled, or projection-specific.

Last checked and source confidence

Source confidence: Treat this profile as strongest for the exact role named above. It is weaker when the source is stretched into live availability, legal proof, or traveler-fit decisions it does not directly prove.
