Know what’s happening around you when it matters.
Warnings, incidents, evacuations and official emergency information are spread across a lot of different places.
Disaster Scout brings them together into one clearer view, so you can spend less time working out where to look and more time understanding what’s actually happening.
Emergency information, without the tab chaos.
If you’ve ever had a weather warning open in one tab, a fire map in another, Facebook somewhere else and three different agencies telling you slightly different things, you already know why Disaster Scout exists.
We bring trusted emergency information together and make it easier to scan, understand and follow as a situation changes.
You can see what’s happening on the map, check the latest information, go straight back to the official source and get the context you need without having to know which agency owns what first.
The official picture, with a little more context.
Official information will always sit at the heart of Disaster Scout. But sometimes the useful details people need are happening on the ground before they make it onto a dashboard.
That’s why we’ve built Community Reports.
People can share information connected to an active incident, such as local conditions, access issues or other useful updates. Reports are reviewed by Disaster Scout before they appear, so you get the benefit of local knowledge without turning the map into an unverified social feed.
One place. A much clearer picture.
Incidents + warnings
Every decision we make is shaped by a clear sense of purpose. Our journey has been anything but ordinary. Through every step, we've focused on staying true to our values and making space for thoughtful, lasting work.
Official information
Disaster Scout pulls from trusted agency sources and takes you straight back to the original information when you need more detail.
Built for actual humans
Clear maps, useful context and less visual noise when your brain probably already has enough going on.
Built differently on purpose.
Disaster Scout was created by an emergency management and public information professional who got tired of watching people piece together the same situation across websites, dashboards, apps and social feeds.
The information is already out there.
We’re making it easier to find, understand and use.
See what’s happening.
Disaster Scout brings together publicly available emergency information from official sources alongside Disaster Scout-reviewed Community Reports. Always follow directions from emergency services and refer to official agency information during an emergency.
