About[edit]
This WikiProject is part of the Wikimedians for Disaster Response initiative and aims to help with documenting and coordinating Wikidata-related information and activities in humanitarian and related contexts.
- types of disasters and humanitarian activities
- mechanisms around disaster preparedness and response
- authorities, organizations and others engaged in disaster management and humanitarian activities
- properties and lexemes to describe any of the above, along with reliable references on the matter
- Wikimedia projects active in such contexts, along with templates and other infrastructure
Items to work on[edit]
To ensure these tables are up to date, please use their 'manually update' links and then purge this page.
Disasters from the last 90 days[edit]
See also this accompanying map as well as similar information from specialized sites e.g. USGS on recent earthquakes.

Disease outbreaks[edit]
For coverage of recent or ongoing outbreaks, see HealthMap. We're looking into integrating information from there into Wikidata.

Current events[edit]
The queries above assume some basic tagging of Wikidata items as, for instance, being instances of some subclasses of disaster. When Wikidata items are new, this tagging may be incomplete, so another option to pick up information about current events is to look at the topics on other Wikimedia sites that have been tagged as being about current events, typically by way of Template:Current (Q5638917). This may or may not include topics with some relation to humanitarian actions, and it still requires that a Wikidata item exists for the topic. See also Trending topics.
Current events as per any Wikimedia wiki[edit]
This query is intended to list items that have been tagged with Template:Current (Q5638917) on any Wikimedia project. It does not work yet because it makes use of the MediaWiki API for each of these wikis, but the Wikidata Query Service currently does not allow to specify the MediaWiki API endpoint as a variable, so it has to be a constant for any given API call (see Phabricator ticket for details as well as the per-wiki sections below). Result sets from separate API calls to multiple endpoints can be combined inside a SPARQL query though, as demoed here.

The table below contains a query that works on the Wikidata Query Service but still not yet in Listeria lists, which were originally designed to be used on monolingual wikis drawing data from Wikidata, rather than for the inverse sense that we are aiming at here.

The tables below are simply listing items that have been tagged with the local version of Template:Current (Q5638917) on the given wiki. Filtering this for things relevant in humanitarian contexts and expanding this to other languages and ideally also other Wikimedia sites will hopefully come soon.
