About us
Watch Duty is a nonprofit public-safety platform delivering trusted, real-time information during disasters. We combine advanced technology with a trained network of human analysts to monitor tens of thousands of signals—from emergency radio traffic and satellite data to agency updates—transforming them into timely and clear alerts people can act on. In 2025, more than 16.8 million people relied on Watch Duty during major wildfire incidents. At peak demand, we handled up to 100,000 requests per second without interruption. Our service is used by residents, first responders, and emergency managers alike, providing a shared source of situational awareness when it matters most. As we serve the entire U.S. and add new hazards, airline miles directly support our ability to deploy teams, strengthen partnerships, and reach communities in crisis. Recognized by TIME, Fast Company, and Apple, Watch Duty is building critical infrastructure to help people stay safe when every second counts.
