Houston incident map FAQ

How current is the Houston incident map?

Refresh cycles vary by source — some Houston feeds are near-real-time dispatch logs, others publish every few hours or on a batch cycle. CityAlert re-checks sources continuously and this page regenerates every 10 minutes; individual incidents show their reported timestamps.

Where does CityAlert's Houston data come from?

This page is powered by: Houston PD crime data — person, property & society offenses (open GIS), CityProtect Houston incident feed, US National Weather Service alerts (NWS CAP) and GDACS hurricane & flood alerts. Media-sourced incidents are approximate block-level locations and are labelled as such.
