Free live public-safety incident map: global crime, fire, disaster, weather and news feeds

Description as the publisher wrote it.

The 8 tools CityAlert offers

Tool	What it does
`create_dashboard`	Create a shareable dashboard. Returns {id, token} — the token grants write access via PUT /api/dashboards, so save it. Inputs: name, config
`get_crime_year`	Full-year VPD crime data: totals and ranked neighbourhood stats. Vancouver only, 2003-present. Inputs: year, includeIncidents
`get_dashboard`	Read a saved dashboard by id (shareable, read-only). Inputs: id
`get_incidents`	Merged live incidents from all feeds plus manual reports. Filter by region key, category, group, severity, source, or bbox. Results come from a shared ~15-minute snapshot; real-time refresh requires an API key with that entitlement (details Inputs: region, category, groups, minSeverity, q, source
`get_news`	Per-region safety news items, or news for an arbitrary place name. Inputs: place, refresh
`get_trends`	Historical aggregates: VPD crime by year/month/type (6y), USGS M4+ quakes per region (10y), GDACS global events (3y), report and live snapshot stats. Use for questions about patterns over time — crime trends, quake frequency, disaster caden
`list_regions`	List CityAlert focus regions (key, label, center, zoom, bbox). Use region keys with get_incidents.
`submit_report`	File a manual geolocated incident report (same as POST /api/reports). Reports are moderated before they appear publicly. Errors: 'report submission disabled' if the caller is blocked; 'rate limited' past 20 reports/hour via MCP. Inputs: title, lat, lon, category, severity, description
