About Outbreak Signal

A calm, source-disciplined view of disease-outbreak intelligence for normal readers.

Mission

Outbreak Signal is a calm, source-disciplined view of disease-outbreak intelligence for normal readers. We aggregate verified updates from official public-health agencies (WHO, CDC, ECDC, PAHO, national ministries) and reputable secondary reporting. We label confidence on every claim and we do not invent numbers.

What we cover

  • Disease-outbreak news from Tier 1 sources.
  • Evergreen explainers — what terms mean, how the source-tier system works, how to read public-health bulletins.
  • A focused hantavirus information hub at launch, with multi-disease coverage in later phases.
  • A radar / dashboard preview that shows confirmed and reported signals visually, with a tabular fallback.

What we do not do

  • Diagnosis or treatment advice. We are not a healthcare provider.
  • Fearmongering, panic language, fake urgency, or invented case counts.
  • Tracking, advertising, or third-party scripts. The site does not phone home about its visitors.
  • Auto-publishing of medical content. Every claim that reaches readers is reviewed by a human.

Outbreak Signal is in Phase 1 — early MVP. Corrections workflow and contact channels are tracked in the project's internal docs. See the Sources & methodology page for tier definitions, and /contact for the placeholder contact line.

Outbreak Signal is independent. Not affiliated with WHO, CDC, ECDC, PAHO, or any government agency.
