Real estate and property management

Follow what public sources report around the cities where you manage or sell property: street protests, strikes, road closures and security incidents, with the original articles one click away.

What you get

• City pages with live counts for the last 24 hours, 7 days and 30 days, a 30-day chart and the latest alerts with their sources.
• One Atom feed per city, so a team can follow several cities in any feed reader.
• Email digests per place, at the frequency you choose (every 15 minutes up to monthly).
• A free embeddable widget if you want to show current alerts for a city on your own site.

How to start

• Open the city page (for example Paris) and subscribe to its Atom feed or choose "Get alerts" on the map.
• For many properties, call the free API with a bounding box or a city slug and keep the alert URLs with your notes.

Limits

• Do not use alerts.live as a rating of a neighbourhood: it counts reported events, it does not say how safe an area is, and counts depend on how much news a place gets.
• alerts.live is descriptive and informational. It is not an official source, not an emergency service and gives no safety score for any place.
• Alerts are detected automatically in public sources and can be wrong or late. Each one shows its sources and a confidence score so you can judge it; see the methodology.
• Absence of alerts does not mean absence of events. Coverage depends on what public sources publish.
