Community Reports New

Spotted a fallen tree, a power outage or a blocked road? Report it in seconds and help your community. Sign in with Apple or Google, choose the incident type, attach a photo, and your report shows up on everyone's map.

New report screen with incident type, location and photo — **Quick reporting:** pick from 6 incident types — fire, flood, accident, power outage, landslide or fallen tree — attach a photo and submit. EXIF metadata is stripped automatically to protect your privacy.

Account screen with the Watchman L5 reputation badge and a list of submitted reports — **10 reputation levels:** from Civilian to Mythic, earn points for every report verified by an operator. Track your history, the status of each report (open, resolved, hidden) and your progress toward the next level.

You can submit anonymously at any time, and reports are moderated by operators to keep the data trustworthy. Verified reports raise your trust score; invalid ones lower it.
