Daily 14-day rolling threat index · as of 2026-10-14 · latest Elevated · axis 41–96 of 100 (zoomed)
Each window uses a recency decay matched to its own length (half-life = window ÷ 2), so 30- and 90-day views weigh a full span of activity — and the windows are directly comparable. One may read higher or lower than another purely from the reporting trend. Methodology →
