History

The idea of the site appeared in the first weeks of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, during the development of other projects related to alerting the population about alarms.

So, on March 2, 2022, the "Lviv Siren" bot was created, which reported on air alarms in Lviv on Twitter. [1] Later, the idea arose to monitor alarms all over Ukraine and display them on a map. However, the lack of a single official source reporting alarms made this task much more difficult.

On March 15, 2022, the Ajax Systems company announced the creation of the official Telegram channel "Air Alarm". This channel receives signals from the "Air Alarm" application and instantly publishes messages about the start and end of alarms in different regions of Ukraine. [2] This immediately solved the problem with the source of information and gave impetus to the further implementation of the project.

On March 22, 2022, the first version of the "Air Alarm Map" website was published, located on the war.ukrzen.in.ua domain.

The map quickly gained popularity in social networks. It, like several other similar projects, began to be widely distributed by the mass media: Suspilne, [3] Novyi Kanal, [4] UNIAN, [5] DW, [6] Fakty ICTV, [7] Vikna TV, [8] Ukrainian Radio, [9] STB, [10] Espresso, [11] dev.ua, [12] itc.ua [13] and state bodies: Center for Countering Disinformation at the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, [14] Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, [15] Khmelnytska OVA, [16] etc.

On April 8, 2022, the site moved to the alerts.in.ua domain, where it is still available today. [17]

On August 25, 2022, the service began monitoring local official channels in addition to the main "Air Alarm". [18]

On September 11, 2022, the English version of the site was published. [19]

On March 22, 2023, its own Android application was published. [20]

The project is actively developing and has its own community.

Description

The main part of the site is a map of Ukraine, on which the regions where an air alert or other threats have been declared are highlighted in real time.

As of October 16, 2022, 5 types of threats are supported:

Additionally, based on media reports, information is published about other dangerous events, such as explosions, demining, etc.

On the site, you can view the history of announced alarms with links to sources. Alarm statistics for different time periods are also available.

For developers, there is an API that allows you to develop your own services based on information about declared alarms.

The site is available in Ukrainian, English, Polish and Japanese. [21]
