Air quality

How to read this estimate
Open-Meteo / CAMS provides modeled city-center AQI and PM2.5, not neighborhood monitor readings. EPA categories guide the activity advice. Wind and nearby fires cannot confirm smoke exposure.

Hazardous
Highway cameras
Caltrans still frames refresh about every 5 minutes. Cameras marked LIVE also offer video: click to start, one at a time, not recorded. If a stream fails, the still frame stays.
Earthquakes · last 7 days
USGS catalog: M2.5+ within 50 km of either city, plus M4.5+ within 120 km. Display filters, not proof an event was felt.
Fires nearby or upwind
Recent NIFC perimeters filtered for nearby or possible upwind context. Not smoke confirmation or evacuation guidance; no result is not an all-clear.
Rain radar
NOAA MRMS base reflectivity over the Bay, refreshed every 2 minutes while on. Observed radar, not a forecast.
Mapped plate readers
License-plate-reader camera locations community-mapped in OpenStreetMap (including DeFlock). Locations and tags only: no plate data, no footage. Loads the current map view; zoom in to spread out numbered groups.
