How this page is checked

The Daily Watch reads official-source feeds first: City of Greenwood, EmergencyInfoBC, DriveBC, BC Wildfire/DriveBC wildfire layer, Environment Canada weather data and RDKB when accessible. Facebook and community posts are treated as leads only unless verified by an official or named source.

RDKB public homepage returned 403/security blocking in today’s public-source pull; a manual browser check is still useful.
