ALIAS COVERAGE
Each county was searched by county name, major municipality where applicable, and direct-source/domain variants.
SOURCE FAMILY COVERAGE
Local news, law-enforcement/public-safety reporting, fire/rescue reporting, transportation and utility/education notices were checked. Federal feeds were reviewed where relevant; not every county produced a current readable official bulletin.
KNOWN GAPS
Some official portals exposed only current rolling data or blocked automated access. Absence of a retained record is not evidence that no incident occurred. Coordinates are withheld unless the exact scene point was verified; no county centroids were invented.
