Watch Duty started with one of the hardest disasters to track: wildfires, which have the least digital information and require reporters to monitor radios around the clock.
Now we're bringing that same human-vetted approach to alerts for major flooding.
In an interview with "This Week in Disasters", @johnclarkemills shares more on the ethos behind Watch Duty's work, expanding to major flooding coverage, and why human expertise stays at the center of everything we do: https://t.co/qLzYK049k7
@DallasStars@AACenter@victoryplustv@dfwticket what is wrong with your Victory+ sound????? No game sound, announcers are super loud, and now very little sound on the intermission commentary.
We are humbled to officially partner with @PulsePoint who is not only a leader in community emergency response but the original inspiration for Watch Duty. All of us at Watch Duty are avid users and their vegetation fire dispatches are a primary signal for us to jump into action. Without them we would all be less safe.
In the newest version of your PulsePoint app, you will now see direct links to Watch Duty for the vegetation fires we’re tracking. We hope you don’t need us, but we’ll both be there for you when you do.
We’ve put together a how-to video demonstrating many of our different features to share with your friends, neighbors, and your uncle who lives alone in fire country and still thinks the Internet is a “fad”.

Ever since the deadly wildfires began in Los Angeles two weeks ago, residents have largely turned to the Watch Duty app for the most up-to-date information.
@TheStephSy spoke to two members of the small team who make it possible.
A huge shout out to @barkflight and the entire @watchdutyapp team for their work the last few weeks. There is no doubt in my mind that lives were saved because of their reporting. Please watch the video and give some kudos to those who deserve it
BREAKING: A major situation is developing in Orange County near the #AirportFire, where a wild land firefighter transport vehicle, carrying as many as a dozen FFs, has been involved in a horrific crash. Several medevac helicopters have airlifted multiple patients.
