CLaSH's rapid response team reviews a wide range of events, though our current resources allow us to conduct in-depth investigations on only a select few. Below is a list of events that have been discussed within the team, along with links to additional resources where available. 

About this list

Events on this page are primarily classified as Tier 0 (T0) for CLaSH, but event that reached a Tier 1 (T1) investigation are marked with a yellow button linking directly to the CLaSH report. T0 events are the events that have begun the initial stage of our review process, which includes:

• Collecting media reports

• Performing a cursory review of available remotely sensed data

• Discussion with collaborators and partner organizations where contacts exist

If a T0 event meets the team's established criteria, it is escalated to a higher-tier response and further investigation is performed.
