Ops

Watch one place.
See what changed.

Fresh evidence for live watch: focus on a country, region, or event, see what changed, and keep the source trail visible.

See pricing ›

Starter watches

Start with one live watch, either as a watch idea or a direct feed entry point. Keep the scope narrow and let the watch deepen from there.

Earthquakes + Tsunamis

Pacific event watch

Track strong earthquakes, tsunami activity, and related follow-on signals without leaving the same watch surface.

Show new M6+ earthquakes around Japan and any matching tsunami events.
Hurricanes + Wildfires

Regional hazard watch

Keep one region in view and watch for multiple live hazard types as conditions change.

Watch the Gulf Coast for new hurricanes and active wildfires.
Currency + Volcanoes

Signal overlap watch

Monitor different feed families together when the operational picture spans markets, events, and geography.

Watch Indonesia for volcanic activity and large moves in the rupiah.

How Ops works

Ops chat is snapshot-first. It starts from what is active now, then reads the recent watch history behind that state. This is the lane for "what changed?", "what is new?", and "which source says what?"

Snapshot view

See the current state first

Each watch begins from the live feed snapshot: active alerts, current storms, current seismic activity, or the latest market move that matters operationally.

What is active right now in this watch?
Recent history

Ask against the last ~72 hours

Ops can look back through the recent retained window to explain what changed, what escalated, what faded, and how the current state developed over the last few days.

When to switch modes

Use Explore for older history

If the question is broader or older than the live window, move to Explore. Explore is the better lane for deeper historical context, larger comparisons, playback, and canonical pack history.

How does this compare to the last 5 years?

More feeds, same watch model

Ops is not limited to the starter watches. Earthquakes, currency, tsunamis, volcanoes, wildfires, and hurricanes all use the same watch posture: one region or event, live snapshots first, recent history as support, and a clean handoff to Explore when the question becomes more historical.

Before you start a watch

How fresh is the data?

Live collectors write into the same packs the rest of DaedalMap reads, so a watch shows the latest collected state rather than a separate real-time copy. Each feed page lists its own collection cadence.

Will it tell me where an alert actually applies?

Alert and event geometry is compared against maintained places by measured overlap. A storm track or alert polygon reports the places it intersects instead of guessing from a name or a center point.

How far back can I ask?

Ops answers from the live snapshot and the recent retained window, roughly the last 72 hours. Older comparisons belong in Explore, which reads the full pack history.

What does a watch cost?

Opening Ops and browsing feeds is free. Paid feeds and larger agent or bulk workloads are priced separately, and the engine is open source if you would rather run it yourself. See pricing.
