Current alerts and instructions

This page records dated official tolls; it is not an alert channel. Current warnings, alerts and instructions are published by the DGM and the BNGRC.

People affected per event

Each event's latest official toll since the 2021-2022 season, as published by the BNGRC. An event without a published figure stays empty: the page never invents a toll.

Latest known official toll per event; some tolls remain provisional, the date is authoritative.

The official toll of every event

One event per row, most recent first. Every figure is the latest published official toll, at the date in the last column; a dash means the source did not publish that indicator.

The DGM's cyclone alert levels

The official alert scheme has four levels, recalled here for information. Issuing them is the DGM's prerogative.

Green alert

Warning: potential threat within 2 to 5 days.

Yellow alert

Threat: possible impact within 24 to 48 hours.

Red alert

Imminent danger: impact expected within 12 hours.

Blue alert

System weakening or moving away; caution still applies.

Method and sources

Tolls come from the situation reports and official bilans published by the BNGRC (website and PDF bulletins), archived verbatim then normalised; every figure keeps its own toll date. For events predating the BNGRC's web archive, BNGRC tolls relayed in dated OCHA and DG ECHO documents are transcribed, each entry citing its document.

Nothing is computed or aggregated on our side: the page selects each event's most recent official toll, and only exact published values are kept, never a press rounding nor an impact forecast. The alert status is read daily from the DGM cyclone page.

Sources: BNGRC; DGM; BNGRC tolls relayed by OCHA/DG ECHO (events before 2023)
