Moderate Risk

Within 5 km and spotted in the last 2-4 days. Stay alert and informed.

Low Risk

Beyond 10 km or spotted 5+ days ago. General awareness recommended.

Every Alert Includes:

  • Exact street address of the sighting
  • Distance from your current location
  • Time since the sighting occurred
  • Direct link to Google Maps
