You can keep an eye on wildfires and other potential disasters online. Check out ALERTCalifornia, program of UC San Diego in cooperation with other private and government concerns, a website that actually allow you too see some of California’s most vulnerable land. Here’s how they describe the incredible visuals on the site:
Cameras and sensors are deployed throughout California to monitor wildfires and disasters in real-time. ALERTCalifornia has more than 1,200 high-definition, pan-tilt-zoom cameras deployed across California (as of February 2026), providing a 24-hour backcountry network with near-infrared night vision to monitor disasters such as active wildfires. ALERTCalifornia cameras can perform 360-degree sweeps approximately every two minutes and can view as far as 60 miles on a clear day and 120 miles on a clear night.
