Introduction to Watch Center

Watch Center can be used to streamline all-hazards event monitoring and quickly understand risks to an organization's locations of interest.

It consolidates disparate real-time event feeds and creates alerts around places of interest so potential threats and hazards to your organization can be monitored and assessed efficiently. This accelerated approach provides decision-makers more time to effectively plan response activities and protect life and property. Watch Center is typically implemented emergency management agencies, businesses, utilities, fusion centers, colleges and universities, and other national, state, or location government organizations that want to implement a real-time, data-driven approach to all-hazards event monitoring.

The Watch Center delivers a set of capabilities that help you monitor real-time all-hazard events in and around places of interest and share essential information with stakeholders.

Tip:

Watch Center includes a series of pre-configured hazard feeds from the Esri Living Atlas. It also supports a series of event feeds from Esri partners, including DataCapable, Dataminr First Alert, Dataminr Pulse, Factal, Gridmetrics, Samdesk, Seerist AI Events , and Seerist Verified Events. Partner feeds are recommended, but optional, and must be purchased separately from ArcGIS Marketplace.
