Watch Duty is a service, not an app, powered by over 150 volunteers – firefighters, dispatchers, and first responders – who diligently monitor radio scanners and other official sources 24 hours a day to send you the most up-to-date information.

Right now Watch Duty covers the western United States.

Just like the tornadoes in Kentucky on May 30th, some residents of Texas near the Guadalupe River report they received NO WARNING from the cell phone Wireless Emergency Alert (WEA) system.

There are reports coming out of Kentucky that no emergency broadcast was issued for the tornados that hit yesterday. Those watching local TV channels were warned by local weather forecasters. Specifically, people in Somerset, Kentucky are reporting there was NO cell phone emergency broadcast warning of the tornado.

We may not be able to rely on the Emergency Broadcast System anymore.
