What CitySignal reads
CitySignal reads public data that government agencies, utilities and transit systems publish about their own work: road incidents and closures, planned roadwork, power and water outages, transit service alerts, airport status and weather alerts. It also reads local newsrooms and event listings. Scout brings these together, removes duplicates, keeps them current and matches them to the places you choose.
Every signal links to the official notice it came from, so you can always check the source yourself. Always follow instructions from the relevant government agency, utility, transit provider or emergency authority.
