Real-Time Weather and Disaster Tracking
When seconds matter
During natural disasters like earthquakes, hurricanes, or wildfires, official news outlets can take hours to verify and report the situation on the ground.
Local residents posting photos and videos on X are the fastest and most accurate source of immediate safety information.
Geolocated search streams
ReDeck allows you to use X's powerful geolocation operators. You can create a search column with the parameter `geocode:latitude,longitude,radius` (e.g., `geocode:34.05,-118.24,10km` for Los Angeles).
Combine this with keywords like 'fire' or 'shaking' to instantly see tweets from people physically located at ground zero.
Organizing emergency alerts
Alongside your geolocated searches, add columns for official emergency response accounts and local meteorologists.
Having this information laid out side-by-side provides a comprehensive, real-time safety dashboard during critical moments.
