I’m Arijeet Chakraborty, and I’m fundraising for Watch Duty because when wildfire or flood strikes, every second matters. Too often official alerts arrive after it’s already too late. That helpless feeling of not knowing what’s happening to your neighborhood or to first responders on the ground is what drives me to support a service that delivers fast, verified, real-time alerts so families can act sooner and stay safer.

Watch Duty provides on-the-ground intelligence: how fast a fire is moving, which direction it’s headed, and when it crosses containment lines. They monitor incidents around the clock and turn raw reports into clear updates that people can trust. That clarity can be the difference between evacuating in time or being trapped by smoke and flames, between preparing for rising water or being caught unaware.

By supporting this campaign, we help Watch Duty expand coverage to more at-risk communities, keep alerts free and accessible, and invest in tools that make updates clearer and faster as conditions change. These are practical, lifesaving improvements that directly help firefighters, first responders, and families facing rapidly evolving emergencies.

Please donate to support Watch Duty today. Your contribution helps deliver the real-time alerts and 24/7 monitoring that give people the information they need to protect their lives and homes.
