Watch Duty is introducing flood alerts to its disaster tracking app. The feature follows wildfires as the second disaster type supported on the platform and is available now as a free update.
The app lets users subscribe to alerts for specific counties. When a flood occurs, it sends a push notification detailing the location and spread. This marks the first expansion beyond wildfires for the service. The company has indicated additional disaster types will follow in the future. The update aims to broaden the app's role in disaster preparedness and emergency notifications.
