Community Reports

Submit Photos

Send weather, road, fire, smoke, storm damage, or scanner-related photos for private review by Alabama Scanner.

Photo submissions are a moderation tool for local context, not a public posting system. Nothing is published automatically and the site does not request precise browser location for reports.

Media

Photos from the scene

Up to 4 photos

Take or choose photos JPEG, PNG, or WebP. Maximum 4 photos, 8 MB each.

Short video is not enabled because this backend does not currently provide a safe video moderation/transcoding path.

Short description I personally captured this media or have permission to submit it to Alabama Scanner for review.

Complete the verification challenge before submitting.

What to send

Weather conditions, storm structure, flooding, hail, or damage.
Road hazards, smoke, fire, utility issues, or broad scanner-related context.
Only public-safe details that do not identify private people or exact homes.

Privacy

Photos are stored privately for moderation. Image metadata is stripped server-side before storage, including common EXIF GPS metadata.

How Reports Help

Useful reports help explain broad conditions: flooding on a roadway, hail size, smoke visible from a public area, storm damage, traffic hazards, or weather impacts that match what listeners may hear on scanner traffic.

What Not To Send

Do not submit close-up private addresses, people in distress, license plates, medical scenes, tactical law-enforcement activity, or anything you do not have permission to share.
