ℹ️
WFGuard provides supplemental situational awareness using CAL FIRE, NIFC, NASA FIRMS, USGS, NOAA, AirNow, Weather.gov, NWS, and FEMA data. Satellite heat detections are indicators and do not by themselves confirm an uncontrolled wildfire. Evacuation orders and emergency instructions come from local authorities and AlertMarin.
