About CityAlert
CityAlert.live is a unified crisis-intelligence map: it pulls public-safety open data, government alert feeds, geocoded media reports and community submissions into one real-time view. Instead of checking six different sources, you see what's happening — crime, fires, disasters, severe weather — on a single map.

Coverage
Global feeds (earthquakes, GDACS disasters) cover the entire planet, and place search or drawn areas work anywhere. Deeper coverage — city-level crime data, weather alerts, local media geocoding — is concentrated in the focus regions. Coverage depth varies by city: the badge on each entry below (and on every city page) shows what kind of feed backs it — an official incident feed, 911/dispatch calls, geocoded media reports, or global hazard feeds only.

How fresh is the data?
It depends on the source. Some publish in near real time — dispatch/911 feeds like Seattle Fire and NOPD calls for service, and CAP weather alerts from national meteorological services. Most police open-data portals lag hours to days behind the incident itself, and media-sourced pins are approximate block-level locations. “Live” means the map re-checks every feed on its own cadence and shows each incident's reported age — not that every source is real-time. Every source lists its refresh cadence and last fetch on the sources page.
Methodology & caveats
- Every incident is normalized to a shared model — category, severity, location, time, source — and labelled with its source on the map.
- Media-derived incidents (e.g. Vernon/North Okanagan) are geocoded from article text and are approximate to the block or landmark level. They reflect what is newsworthy, not a complete crime record.
- Vancouver crime history uses the VPD open-data archive (2003–present), enabling year-over-year neighbourhood trend comparisons in the Trends tab.
- CityAlert is an aggregation and awareness tool. For emergencies always follow official channels — 911, Environment Canada, NHC, PAGASA, and local authorities.
Frequently asked questions
What is CityAlert?
CityAlert is a free live incident map that combines public-safety open data, government alert feeds, geocoded media reports and community submissions on a single real-time map. It covers crime, fires, natural disasters, severe weather, unrest and user-submitted reports across 157 focus cities — from Vancouver, Toronto and New York to London, Stockholm and Manila — and works for any location worldwide via place search or custom drawn areas.
Where does CityAlert's data come from?
Incidents come from official feeds where they exist — police open-data portals (Vancouver PD, NYPD, Toronto PS, Met Police UK, Polisen Sweden and dozens more municipal portals), USGS earthquakes, the UN/EU GDACS disaster system, NASA EONET, wildfire services and national weather services — plus media reports geocoded from local news coverage and community-submitted reports. Every incident on the map is labelled with its source.
How current is the map?
Feeds refresh on different cycles: earthquakes every 5 minutes, weather alerts (NWS, Environment Canada) every 10, disasters and wildfires every 15, media-derived incidents every 30, and municipal crime data between 5 minutes and 6 hours depending on the city's portal. The live map auto-refreshes every 60 seconds in the browser.
Is the crime data complete or official?
In cities with official open-data feeds — most of the 157 focus cities, including Vancouver, Seattle, New York, Toronto, London and Stockholm — incidents come directly from police data portals, though each has its own publication lag and reporting rules. In regions without public incident-level police data (Vernon, Cabo San Lucas, Manila), CityAlert geocodes media and police media releases, which captures only newsworthy incidents at approximate, block-level locations. Media-derived incidents are clearly labelled and should not be treated as complete crime statistics.
Can I track a specific address or neighbourhood?
Yes. Search any place worldwide, or draw a custom polygon on the map. You can save named areas locally and save or share a whole dashboard configuration via a shareable link — no account required.
Does CityAlert have an API?
The same normalized feed that powers the map is available at /api/incidents as GeoJSON, with /api/trends for historical aggregates, /api/regions for the focus-region list and /api/news for regional safety news. An MCP server for AI assistants is exposed at /api/mcp, and llms.txt provides machine-readable documentation aimed at AI tools.
