Realtime Weather & Disaster Reporting · Vancouver Island, BC
Earth Signals
Earth Signals turns weather and disaster feeds into a clear, live reporting experience. We built the realtime data pipeline, map interfaces and the public-facing product.
The challenge
During storms, wildfires and seismic events, people need timely, trustworthy information — not a wall of raw feeds. The product had to ingest multiple sources, update in near-realtime and present events on a map people could actually understand on a phone.
How we approached it
- 01
Designed map-first interfaces for scanning events quickly under stress.
- 02
Built realtime ingestion and update pipelines for weather and disaster feeds.
- 03
Prioritised clarity, latency and mobile readability over decorative UI.
- 04
Shipped a public product experience that works as both tool and brand.
What changed
- A live reporting system for weather and disaster events
- Realtime architecture patterns applied to other client products
- Another Vancouver Island product proving remote-first delivery works
