Signals, watchlists and adaptive review

Global Signals combines public feeds with country-relevant assessments. An event’s source, verification, severity and relevance are different pieces of evidence.

Step by step

1. 1
   Choose a country; switch between For you, All signals, Map, Watchlists and Sources. Open →
2. 2
   Filter by category, severity, period or source. Open a signal and read why it matters, affected countries and the original source.
3. 3
   Save it, mark it read and inspect the full A–G assessment. Separate the reported event from possible transmission channels.
4. 4
   Use Model in Scenario Planner when relevant, then review the baseline, exposure and assumptions rather than treating severity as a numerical model input. Open →
5. 5
   Keep a watchlist and record what new evidence would trigger a plan review.

Limitations and common mistakes

• Feed coverage is incomplete; no signal is not proof that no event occurred.
• Severity is not a probability, verified loss or guaranteed future impact.
• A public notification may be a proposal, not an effective rule. Check dates and original documents.
