How to understand a community map
A map can help people find shared information, but a pin is not proof and does not guarantee current conditions.
Read the description
Separate what a contributor says they directly saw from their interpretation. A vehicle or uniform alone may not identify an agency.
Understand the status
Read the map’s own legend and review labels. Do not assume a category means a claim was independently confirmed.
Protect privacy
Do not share names, faces, license plates, private addresses, immigration status or identifying details.
WHAT A MAP CAN’T TELL YOU
Context matters.
One pin is not a conclusion.
Community maps are made from reports shared by individuals. Reports can be delayed, incomplete, duplicated or mistaken. A map may not show every event, and an area without a pin does not prove nothing happened.
- Do not treat a report as an official government record.
- Do not assume a report is current just because it is visible.
- Do not approach, follow, photograph or confront anyone to verify a report.
- For urgent personal safety concerns, contact a trusted local organization or emergency service as appropriate.
