How status is decided
| Urgent | Major NWS weather alerts (warnings such as tornado, severe thunderstorm, flash flood, winter storm, high wind or extreme heat, plus any Severe/Extreme alert); 911 calls like structure fires, shootings, hazmat, gas leaks, rescues, entrapments. |
| Notable | Other fire calls, smoke/odor, wires down, injuries, road closures reported in the last 24 hours; PECO outages over 500 customers or 2% of an area; a Philadelphia shooting reported within 0.5 mi in the last 3 days. |
| All clear | Nothing above within the radius right now. Routine medical calls, minor crashes and road hazards are shown as Info. Weather watches, advisories and forecasts aren't shown. |
Data refreshes every 5 minutes while this page is open; the server caches sources for 2–10 minutes.
