How the score is calculated
The score starts at 8. It adds points from recorded affected, deaths, displaced and casualty counts, plus terms found in the story title, event type or status. For each count, only its highest matching band is used.
- Affected people
- 1–999: +5 · 1,000–9,999: +12 · 10,000–99,999: +20 · 100,000–999,999: +28 · 1 million+: +35
- Deaths
- 1–9: +8 · 10–99: +14 · 100–999: +22 · 1,000+: +30
- Displaced people
- 1–9,999: +6 · 10,000–99,999: +12 · 100,000+: +18
- Casualties
- 100 or more: +8
- Story wording
- +10 for terms such as catastrophe, famine, war, conflict, major earthquake, mass casualty or critical. Otherwise, +5 for active, ongoing, emergency, outbreak, cyclone or hurricane.
Score bands: Watch 0–24 · Moderate 25–49 · High 50–74 · Critical 75–100. Scores are capped at 100. Missing or unparseable figures add no points.

Situation
GOAL teams in Honduras are responding to support communities who have seen their livelihoods devastated in the remote La Moskitia region after Hurricane Eta ripped through the region. The storm caused catastrophic landslides and flooding in Central America with Honduras, Nicaragua, and Guatemala the worst affected regions with scores dead and more than 200,000 people evacuated from their homes. Up to 1.8 million people in Honduras are now thought to have been directly affected by the storm. Around 88,000 people are also reported to have been evacuated across different parts of the country. Rescue teams are frantically trying to find missing people before Hurricane Iota hits flooded areas on Monday. It’s feared that Hurricane Iota will hamper rescue efforts and displace thousands more in the coming days. Iota’s storm surge is expected to increase water levels by up to 13 ft in the region.
