Each country and city is assigned a risk level, so that travellers can quickly understand the risk profile of their destination. In addition, users can select to receive push notification alerts about developing threats or live incidents occurring in their immediate locality or other locations of interest, and visualise them instantly using the map view feature.

TripHub is supported by a global team of risk analysts who operate 24/7 to identify and report on incidents and events that could impact traveller safety. In addition, the team is responsible for continually updating risk information to ensure the content is always the very latest available from our wide range of risk data sources. Our analysts monitor literally 1,000’s of sources to gather relevant information, including:

International, national and local media, newswires, social media and retained in-country sources

The World Health Organization (WHO), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and United Nations

Warnings and advisories from overseas embassies and consuls regarding security conditions for the countries in which they are operational

In-country police, law enforcement, military, security and intelligence services

Government and NGO organizations

Anvil’s network of global partners and own employees located around the world

As well as reporting the established facts about an incident and providing advice, our analysts will geocode the exact location of the incident with longitude and latitude coordinates, and assign a threat level numeric indicator, so subscribers can understand the potential impact of the incident. Alerts are issued within 15 minutes of our analysts becoming aware of the incident.

To avoid a saturation of alerts, TripHub allows users to set up alert profiles that can be defined by geographic location and threat levels of interest specific to their travel plans.
