Field Brief

Is anything coming for the places you care about? Field Brief checks official warnings, earthquakes, wildfires, storms, floods and air quality for each place and answers in one word, Quiet, Watch or Act, with what to do next. Every warning is free, always. No account, no ads, no tracking. Field Brief is a reading aid, not an official warning service: keep your phone's emergency alerts on. ONE WORD PER PLACE Each place gets a clear status with the reason in plain words, today's weather and the next 12 hours, and how fresh the reading is. A reading more than three hours old is greyed out, never shown as current. OFFICIAL WARNINGS DECIDE THE LEVEL The U.S. National Weather Service, Environment Canada, MeteoAlarm (Europe), Brazil's INMET, New Zealand's MetService, and national weather services worldwide through the WMO. Forecasts and news add context but never raise the alarm on their own. QUAKES, FIRES, STORMS, FLOODS, AIR Earthquakes graded by how hard they would shake at your place, not just magnitude. Wildfire perimeters, hurricane cones, river gauges, tsunami messages, volcano notices, smoke, air quality in the U.S. and Canada, heat and cold. Weather data from MET Norway. A feed that does not answer is named, never read as all-clear. A PLAN, NOT JUST A WARNING On a Watch or Act day, "Your plan" lists the steps in order. The official instruction on each warning always comes first. SOS AND "I'M OK" SOS shows the emergency number for your place's country (over 100 built in, no data needed) and opens your dialer with it typed in. "I'm OK" opens your messaging app with the message written and your family's numbers filled in. You press call or send. YOUR HOUSEHOLD, READY A supply list that counts how many days your water, food, fuel, power and medicine last, an emergency card, a family communication plan, and who does what. WARNINGS THAT REACH YOU A notification when a place turns Watch or Act, and a quiet note when it is back to Quiet. Quiet hours, a morning line for home, a home-screen widget and a Wear OS tile. A built-in check shows whether your phone's battery settings could hold warnings back. PROOF IT WAS WATCHING Every source is listed with who runs it and how often it answered over the last 30 days, so a quiet day reads as checked, not as FREE FOR GOOD, PLUS IF YOU WANT MORE Free: every warning and notice for two places, your plan, SOS, I'm OK, the emergency card, family plan, supplies with day counts, the widget and watch tile. Field Brief Plus (yearly, monthly or once for life, through Google Play) adds up to six places, storm mode, the road between places, the full morning brief, questions answered on the phone, a printable family binder, starter kits, moving everything to a new phone by QR, road cameras and your phone's barometer. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no ads, no tracking. Your places, supplies and plans stay on your phone. Where a service needs a location, the privacy policy names every one and what it receives. Field Brief does not replace Wireless Emergency Alerts, sirens, or instructions from local authorities. SOURCES Field Brief is independent. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting for any government agency, and it does not represent the National Weather Service, NOAA, USGS, Environment Canada, EUMETNET/MeteoAlarm, the WMO, or any other public body. Warnings and data come from their public feeds, including weather.gov, earthquake.usgs.gov, weather.gc.ca, meteoalarm.org, severeweather.wmo.int, gdacs.org and firms.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov. The full list, with what each one receives, is in the privacy policy and on the app's Sources page.
