How to use this data before moving

Use the report as a first read, not the final decision. A state can show many reports because it has more people, more media coverage, or more community activity. The safer workflow is to check the specific route, the latest reports near your destination, and the age of each incident.

  • Check whether severe reports are clustered around your exact route.
  • Prefer daylight movement when recent high-severity incidents appear nearby.
  • Use the Chipon route planner to compare safer alternatives, not only faster ones.
  • Report or verify what you see so the next person has better information.
