Wildfires, weather advisories, earthquakes, highway cameras, and mapped plate-reader locations — every source keyless and public. And because most of us aren't near the fires: the air panel translates smoke and pollution into what it means for your lungs today, with a health read for SF, Oakland and the towns around the Bay. Switch a layer on; the feed panel below follows, and everything on the map is clickable.

Loading live air readings for SF, Oakland and 14 surrounding towns…
US AQI + PM2.5 from Open-Meteo (CAMS model blend, refreshed hourly). Category colors follow the US EPA AQI breakpoints. Smoke-drift notes are an inference from current winds vs mapped fire perimeters — labeled as such, never presented as certainty.
Current interagency perimeter set (NIFC WFIGS). Updated continuously upstream; this page keeps a 5-minute copy and shows a STALE badge rather than an empty map when a refresh fails.
Active NWS alerts covering either city's center point. Advisory, watch, and warning text straight from the National Weather Service.
NOAA MRMS base reflectivity (dBZ) over the Bay window, refreshed every 2 minutes while enabled. Observed radar — not a forecast.
USGS catalog, magnitude 1.0+. Click a row to fly to it; circle size tracks magnitude.
License-plate-reader camera locations community-mapped in OpenStreetMap (including DeFlock). Locations and tags only — no plate data, no footage, no vendor feeds. Queries load the current map view; nearby cameras group into numbered clusters — zoom in or click a cluster to spread them out.
The nearest active Caltrans cameras to the current map center. Frames refresh about every 5 minutes upstream — hit refresh on a card for the newest one.
Preview build for review — not production, noindex. No personal data anywhere on this page: the ALPR layer maps camera locations, it does not read plates or footage.
