A private area study

Your Homefieldadvantage.

Your own ground from the air, studied the way an analyst would: the threats around you, every way out, who answers a call, what keeps the lights on, and what is happening right now.

01Your ground

Your own groundfrom the air.

Your address in 3D, from straight overhead out to the lay of the land, with your neighborhood and your wider area chalked on the ground as two rings. Switch to night vision or thermal when you want to see it another way.

  • Home
  • Your ground
02The threat picture

The threatpicture.

People first. Police and sheriff incidents pinned where they happened, the crime record set against your state and the country, drug and gang activity, and every threat ranked by how likely it is and how bad it would be. Storms and fires come after.

  • Police log
  • Where it clusters
03Ways out

Everyway out.

Every numbered road out of your area, timed under live traffic, with the bridges and bottlenecks that could close it. Know the second way before the first one closes.

  • Routes out
  • Choke points
04Responders

Who answersa call.

The agencies that police your address, the fire and ambulance stations, and the nearest emergency room, with the drive time from your door right now.

  • Stations
  • Path to you
05Lifelines

What keepsthe lights on.

Power plants, transmission lines and substations, and the water system that serves your county and where it draws from. The lines behind the switch on your wall, on the same map as everything else.

  • Lines
  • Feed to you
06Right now

What is happeningright now.

Traffic cameras over the intersections they watch, closures and crashes, aircraft overhead and the helicopter circling, weather alerts and radar, river gauges, ships offshore, and the satellites passing above.

  • Live sweep
  • Activity
  • Circling aircraft
07Your log

Log whatyou see.

When the feeds go quiet, what you and your neighbors see is the picture. Mark it where it happened, say how you know and how sure you are, and search it later. It follows you to every device and waits on your phone when there is no signal.

  • Your reports
  • The pattern
08The briefing

Briefedout loud.

Press one button and the camera flies your area in the order an analyst would brief it, read aloud. Ask the map anything. The Board lays the whole study on one wall, and the printed report keeps it when the power is off.

  • Briefing flight
IndexEverything in the field

Everything onone map.

Built from public records and live feeds. Every fact on screen names its source, and says so when a record is old.
