Built for awareness, not panic.
Source labels on every incident.
Serious-only SMS alerts.
Not a replacement for 911.
The problem
Scanner feeds are chaotic. Public listings are thin. People still want to know what is going on nearby.
Radius is the layer between raw public-safety signals and ordinary people. It turns messy inputs into a map, cautious narratives, location confidence, and alert rules that do not spam users for routine calls.
That makes the free map useful enough to check often, and the paid alert layer valuable when someone wants Radius watching home, work, school, or a property.
Live incident map
See police, fire, EMS, and traffic activity across monitored metros with 24, 48, and 72 hour windows.
Audio narratives
Austin uses authorized public-safety audio to create cautious, readable summaries when a usable location is heard.
Saved-place alerts
Set a radius around a place that matters. SMS alerts focus on urgent and critical nearby incidents.
Source transparency
Incidents are labeled as official CAD, authorized audio, or area-level public reports so users understand confidence.
Coverage
Austin is the flagship. San Antonio is the official-CAD benchmark.
Trust
Plain answers before people rely on it.
Is Radius official emergency information?
No. Radius is an awareness tool using official public data, authorized audio, and clearly labeled public sources. It can be incomplete or wrong. Call 911 for emergencies.
Why not text every incident?
Because that would be noisy and expensive. The map can show routine activity, but SMS is intentionally limited to serious nearby issues.
Why Austin-first?
Austin is where authorized audio is adding useful context beyond public listings, making it the best place to prove the product.
Can I get weekly reports instead?
Yes. Radius collects weekly report emails separately from SMS alerts so people can follow local activity without getting texts.
