Field information / public awareness
The war ended. The ordnance didn’t.
Unexploded ordnance can remain dangerous long after a conflict has passed. UXO.INFO is building a clearer, source-led way to understand that lasting risk.
Start with the basicsWhy this exists
Knowledge is part of safer ground.
UXO can affect where people live, farm, rebuild, travel, and recover. Its consequences are not limited to the moment a weapon fails to detonate.
Our aim is straightforward: make dependable information easier to find, easier to understand, and more useful to people who want to learn, teach, report, or contribute responsibly.
Explore the impactsSafety first
Information is not clearance.
Suspected explosive ordnance must be left alone and reported to the relevant local authorities or specialist services. UXO.INFO does not provide handling, removal, or disposal instructions.
Clearance is specialist work: planned, assessed, and carried out by qualified teams under applicable standards and local authority.
How professional clearance worksThe long view
Build carefully. Think beyond one update cycle.
Maps, regional information, translations, and deeper research tools belong in the next phase—not as empty features now, but as systems we can develop with care and useful source material.
We also hope that UXO.INFO can one day directly support documented UXO clearance efforts. That is an ambition for the future, not a claim about present funding.
UXO.INFO is a WhyTrashEarth project.
