This feature service depicts the National Weather Service (NWS) watches, warnings, and advisories within the United States. Watches and warnings are classified into well over 100 categories. See event descriptions for full details. A warning is issued when a hazardous weather or hydrologic event is occurring, imminent or likely. A warning means weather conditions pose a threat to life or property. People in the path of the storm need to take protective action.A watch is used when the risk of a hazardous weather or hydrologic event has increased significantly, but its occurrence, location or timing is still uncertain. It is intended to provide enough lead time so those who need to set their plans in motion can do so. A watch means that hazardous weather is possible. People should have a plan of action in case a storm threatens, and they should listen for later information and possible warnings especially when planning travel or outdoor activities.An advisory is issued when a hazardous weather or hydrologic event is occurring, imminent or likely. Advisories are for less serious conditions than warnings, that cause significant inconvenience and if caution is not exercised, could lead to situations that may threaten life or property.SourceNational Weather Service RSS-CAP Warnings and Advisories: Public AlertsNational Weather Service Boundary Overlays: AWIPS Shapefile DatabaseSample DataSee Sample Layer Item for sample data during Weather inactivity!Update FrequencyThe services is updated every 5 minutes using the Aggregated Live Feeds methodology.The overlay data is checked and updated daily from the official AWIPS Shapefile Database.Area CoveredUnited States and TerritoriesWhat can you do with this layer?Customize the display of each attribute by using the Change Style option for any layer.Query the layer to display only specific types of weather watches and warnings.Add to a map with other weather data layers to provide insight on hazardous weather events.Use ArcGIS Online analysis tools, such as Enrich Data, to determine the potential impact of weather events on populations.Revisions:Feb 25, 2021: Revised service data upate workflow, improving stability and update interval.Process now checks for data updates every 5 minutes!Mar 3, 2021: Revised data processing to leverage VTEC parameter details to better align Event 'effective' dates with reported dates on Alert pages.Apr 17, 2023: Turned off popups for boundary Layers by default.Feb 1, 2024: Revised to leverage CAP v1.2 source endpoint.

In addition to displaying earthquakes by magnitude, this service also provide earthquake impact details. Impact is measured by population as well as models for economic and fatality loss. For more details, see: PAGER Alerts. Consumption Best Practices:

As a service that is subject to very high usage, ensure peak performance and accessibility of your maps and apps by avoiding the use of non-cache-able relative Date/Time field filters. To accommodate filtering events by Date/Time, we suggest using the included "Age" fields that maintain the number of days or hours since a record was created or last modified, compared to the last service update. These queries fully support the ability to cache a response, allowing common query results to be efficiently provided to users in a high demand service environment.When ingesting this service in your applications, avoid using POST requests whenever possible. These requests can compromise performance and scalability during periods of high usage because they too are not cache-able.Update Frequency: Events are updated as frequently as every 5 minutes and are available up to 30 days with the following exceptions:

Events with a Magnitude LESS than 4.5 are retained for 7 daysEvents with a Significance value, 'sig' field, of 600 or higher are retained for 90 days In addition to event points, ShakeMaps are also provided. These have been dissolved by Shake Intensity to reduce the Layer Complexity.The specific layers provided in this service have been Time Enabled and include: Events by Magnitude: The event’s seismic magnitude value.Contains PAGER Alert Level: USGS PAGER (Prompt Assessment of Global Earthquakes for Response) system provides an automated impact level assignment that estimates fatality and economic loss.Contains Significance Level: An event’s significance is determined by factors like magnitude, max MMI, ‘felt’ reports, and estimated impact.Shake Intensity: The Instrumental Intensity or Modified Mercalli Intensity (MMI) for available events.For field terms and technical details, see: ComCat DocumentationAlternate SymbologiesVisit the Classic USGS Feature Layer item for a Rainbow view of Shakemap features.RevisionsAug 14, 2024: Added a default Minimum scale suppression of 1:6,000,000 on Shake Intensity layer.Jul 11, 2024: Updated event popup, setting 'Tsunami Warning' text to 'Alert Possible' when flag is present. Also included hyperlink to tsunami warning center.Feb 13, 2024: Updated feed logic to remove Superseded eventsThis map is provided for informational purposes and is not monitored 24/7 for accuracy and currency. Always refer to USGS source for official guidance.If you would like to be alerted to potential issues or simply see when this Service will update next, please visit our Live Feed Status Page!
