Sentinel

Sentinel warns people about danger where they are, and emails the people who sign up when an emergency reaches them. It uses official US government sources: FEMA public alerts (IPAWS), FEMA flood maps, the National Weather Service, the US Geological Survey and OpenFEMA. No API keys needed.

Email Alerts

Anyone can sign up to get an email when an emergency alert covers an address they care about.

For Developers

Each section of a Sentinel assessment comes from a provider plugin. Add your own to show more information.

Getting Started

Sentinel shows people the flood zone, active emergency alerts and what to do for a location, and emails the people who sign up.

How Alerts are Matched

This page explains where Sentinel's information comes from and how it decides an alert covers a location.

Safety Advice

Under the alerts, Sentinel shows What to do: safety steps for the hazard, then ideas for getting out of the way.
