Introducing Watch Duty Teams, a powerful new way to manage your organization’s memberships with discounted pricing starting at just 25 users.  

With Teams, you’ll receive all the same features as either basic or professional, but with powerful administrative tools including consolidated billing and invoicing, centralized user management, and support for single sign-on (SSO). With these enhancements, organizations of all sizes can now deploy Watch Duty at scale while maintaining the security, control, and accountability they require.

Key Features of Watch Duty Teams:

  • Consolidated Billing and Invoicing - Manage all users under one account with a single invoice, simplifying accounting and renewals
  • User Management - Easily add, remove, and assign memberships to users within an organization
  • Single Sign-On (SSO) Integration - Seamlessly and securely connect with existing identity providers to manage user access

To purchase or upgrade your account, simply open the main menu (☰) in the app and click on “Membership” or reach out to us directly at sales@watchduty.org

Upcoming Pro & Team Features

  • GIS/ESRI Layer Import - Soon, you’ll be able to upload your own internal map data directly into Watch Duty, making it accessible to your Pro users.

With this new capability, your team can achieve shared situational awareness to enhance field safety and infrastructure protection—right within the app you already know and trust.

  • Fuel Types and Moisture Readings - View the comprehensive FBFM40 (40 Scott and Burgan Fire Behavior Fuel Models) classification system as a new base map layer to view the vegetation types and fuel loads. Additionally, view recent fuel readings that include moisture, fuel type, and fuel category.
  • Weather Stations and Alerts - This summer we are not only adding over 600,000 weather stations like RAWS to our map, we will give you the ability to alert on individual thresholds. For example, want to know when relative humidity (RH) drops below 5% in a given region? Or when gusts top 70 MPH on a nearby peak? Now you can stop the guesswork and get ground truth data, rather than prediction, sent directly to you.
