- Its five-level scale reserves “On fire” for a state it says has never been used; the rating is changed by hand.
Field notes
The scale distinguishes ordinary faults (level 1) from a degraded major service or region (2), broad disruption (3), interacting failures in core systems (4), and its unused top level (5). The page says the rating is changed by hand and is not an automated monitor; it also links to a method page describing sources and limits, plus public guidance on routine precautions. The homepage displays a review date, but the extracted material does not show the sources behind the current rating.
