What you're citing
Every score here comes from an open dataset: daily-updated safety scores for 240+ countries, aggregated from 40+ public sources including government advisories, the World Bank, INFORM and the Global Peace Index. Free under Creative Commons BY-NC 4.0. Because it updates daily, always include the date you accessed it.
