Every claim in a Safe Trip survival guide cites a source you can re-verify. We start from primary agency guidance (USGS, NOAA, FEMA, WHO, CDC, IFRC, country-level alert services), supplemented by peer-reviewed literature where the agency record is incomplete. Travel-blog content is never used as a source.
