Watch Duty, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, alerts you of nearby wildfires and flooding in real-time. It’s the only app of its kind. Understand if and when you should evacuate. The information is the most accurate and timely and it might be life saving! I highly recommend. It’s free, but you can donate $25/year for extra features. Imo, It’s with our support— it is non-profit. Be safe everyone.
