WNYIMS Live Map

Radar, official alerts, and publicly available incidents

Open Command Center Lite

Radar renders beneath translucent official alert polygons. Incident markers use distinct shapes as well as colour, and locations are generalized wherever a source agreement or privacy policy requires it.

Each call type has its own shape/label as well as colour, so colour alone is never required to tell pins apart. Clustered numbers show how many pins are grouped at that zoom level. Incident markers show an approximate, generalized location — not the exact address — to protect the privacy of everyone involved.

Times shown in America/New_York. Source health and last-updated times for each provider are listed on the Data Sources page.
