Description

During January’s unprecedented wildfires in LA, Watch Duty – a digital platform providing real-time fire data – became the go-to app for tracking the disaster in real time. It’s credited with saving countless lives and redefining the way we monitor natural disasters. Watch Duty’s founder & CEO John Mills joins Rapid Response six months on from the LA fires to share how his small nonprofit responded in the heat of crisis and became a trusted source – even for government agencies. As wildfire season rages on and Texas recovers from devastating floods, Watch Duty’s story underscores both our growing vulnerability to natural disasters driven by climate change and the power of community-based solutions to keep us safe and connected when it matters most.
