A directory of mountains, volcanoes, and other elevated points around the world — built for researching or heading toward higher ground in the event of a flood, tsunami, or other disaster.
Two datasets so far, drawn from public elevation lists. More categories — flood-safe landmarks, tsunami assembly points, drivable lookouts — are planned; see the roadmap below.
This is a first pass on a much bigger project. Roughly how we're sequencing it:
~2,160 mountains and volcanoes worldwide with elevation, range, and location, plus GPS coordinates for a seed set of well-known peaks so "find nearest" works today.
Coordinates for every entry, not just the seed set — the single highest-value addition, since it's what "find nearest" depends on at scale.
How far the public can go: drivable elevation, hike-only elevation, where climbing gear or supplemental oxygen becomes necessary, nearest road/trailhead.
Flood- and tsunami-relevant high ground that isn't a mountain — tall structures, elevated parkland, designated assembly points — added carefully, with sourcing, never as a guarantee of safety.
Install to your home screen and use it with no signal — the point in a real emergency where a live website is least useful. Basic offline shell is already in place.
Optional overlays (official flood/tsunami/volcano advisories) from authoritative sources — additive, never replacing the "facts, not guarantees" stance.
