READ ONE NUMBER.
NOT FIFTEEN TABS.

GridWatch reads 17 government and primary data sources — weather, wildfire, flood, air, seismic, grid, security — and condenses them into one live threat score for your exact ZIP code. One score. One map. One daily brief.

No editorializing. No engagement bait. When nothing is happening, it says so.

LIVE CHECK · NO ACCOUNT NEEDED

Weather alerts, wildfires, flood gauges, air quality, quakes, grid stress and 11 more signals — read live for your exact area.

THE SCORE

Every point is traceable.

Your area's 0–100 score is computed hourly from live signals: active alerts, the 7-day forecast, wildfires within 100 miles, river gauges, air quality, quakes, outages, grid load, geomagnetic storms, tropical systems, federal declarations, DHS advisories. The score always shows which signals are driving it — and by how much. No black box.

THE DAILY BRIEF

Two minutes at dawn.

Every morning GridWatch writes a three-paragraph situational brief for your region — current environment, what to watch or do, and a 30-day outlook tuned to your part of the country and the season. Generated from the same data feeding your score. Not from headlines.

AI BRIEFTODAY · 2026-07-15

All primary threat vectors remain within normal parameters, but the cyber domain warrants sustained attention. CISA's addition of four actively exploited vulnerabilities and the SharePoint hardening directive signal ongoing pressure against organizational networks—particularly those managing critical infrastructure. While no imminent grid threat is indicated, the pattern reflects a persistent exploitation environment…

THIS IS TODAY’S ACTUAL BRIEF — NOT MARKETING COPY

KNOW YOUR GROUND

The risks that were here before you.

The threats that don't change daily still decide what you should prepare for. GridWatch builds a baseline profile for your exact location: FEMA risk ratings across 18 hazards for your census tract, your official flood zone, earthquake design values, and your distance to the nearest nuclear plant against NRC planning zones.

What's my biggest grid threat this week?

Kp index is 1.8 — geomagnetic activity is low. ERCOT is under normal load. Primary watch item: a winter storm system tracking through your region this weekend that could stress local distribution lines if it tracks further north than forecast.
What should I have staged if it escalates to ELEVATED?

For weather-driven grid stress: top off fuel cans now, load-test your generator before the weekend, keep 72-hour water accessible. If the forecast worsens I'll push a specific action list for your area.

WHEN NOTHING IS HAPPENING,
GRIDWATCH SAYS SO.

Fear sells, so most of this industry sells fear. GridWatch is built the other way: sections appear when there's signal, indicators show their reasoning, and a quiet dashboard means your area is actually quiet — verified against every source, on the hour.

COMMON QUESTIONS

WHAT GRIDWATCH IS, AND ISN'T.

What is GridWatch?

GridWatch is a situational-awareness dashboard that condenses 17 federal and primary data sources — weather, wildfire, flood, air quality, seismic, grid, and security — into one live threat score (0–100) for your exact ZIP code, a live map, and a daily intel brief. When your area is quiet, the score says so.

Is GridWatch free?

Live county threat snapshots for all 3,143 US counties are free with no account at gridwatch.prepper.blog/status. A membership ($5/month or $49/year) unlocks the hourly ZIP score, the daily regional AI brief, a 5-location watchlist, your baseline risk profile, and the Scout AI analyst.

How is the threat score calculated?

The 0–100 score is computed hourly from live signals: NWS alert severity, the 7-day forecast, wildfires within 100 miles, river-gauge stages, air quality, earthquakes, grid stress, the geomagnetic-storm index, power outages, FEMA declarations, and DHS advisories. Every component shows its point contribution — no black box.

How current is the data?

Your personal ZIP score updates hourly. Free county pages refresh every 6 hours, and power-outage data is warmed every 6 hours across all 51 states. The intel brief is generated fresh each morning.

What do NORMAL, WATCH, ELEVATED, and CRITICAL mean?

NORMAL: no significant threats detected. WATCH: conditions worth monitoring. ELEVATED: active threats affecting the area. CRITICAL: significant threats currently active.

How is GridWatch different from a weather app or news alerts?

Weather apps cover one hazard and news optimizes for engagement. GridWatch reads government feeds directly, computes one composite score across many hazard types, names and links every source, and defaults to quiet — so a calm dashboard means your area is genuinely calm.
