EmergencyAPI for media

Breaking emergency news requires monitoring multiple state feeds simultaneously. Each state publishes in different formats, at different intervals, with different field names. Building and maintaining scrapers across every jurisdiction is expensive and fragile.

When a major event escalates from "advice" to "emergency warning", every minute matters. Manual monitoring means missed stories.

• National coverage: Every state and territory in one query. No need to poll dozens of feeds yourself.
• Warning level filtering: Query only emergency_warning and watch_and_act incidents for breaking news triggers.
• 30-second freshness: Data updates every 30 seconds to 2 minutes depending on the source.
• Structured data: Consistent field names across all states. Build one integration, cover the country.
• Location data: Addresses, suburbs, and coordinates for every incident. Map-ready.
• Event polygons for broadcast maps: Fire perimeters and flood boundaries as polygon geometry via /v1/events. Show the scale of an incident, not just a dot.

• Automated breaking news alerts when incidents escalate to emergency warning
• Live incident maps for web and broadcast
• Regional newsroom dashboards showing local incidents
• Post-event analysis using historical archive data
• Social media automation for severe weather and fire updates
