the Inland Empire Tracker

Every road closure, water issue, outage, construction notice and transit alert the city's agencies, utilities and newsrooms reported across the Inland Empire and the close-in metro, counted week by week. No login, no feed. Just the numbers, and where they landed.

Road, water, power and construction have held steady. Transit stayed quiet.

Weeks start on Sunday. One thing is counted once per place per day, and something that runs for days counts on the day it started. Brief lane blocks that cleared inside an hour are left out, closures scheduled to run longer than a week are roadworks rather than incidents, an outage counts when it left 10 or more customers without power, and stories about policy or funding are not incidents.

Where the Inland Empire was hit this week

What the map says

Tap a row to see it on the map.

Areas are measured from the Mission Inn in downtown Riverside: within 3 miles is Downtown Riverside, within 15 miles is that side of the Inland Empire, and beyond that is the metro, from Corona to the Coachella Valley and the High Desert. An item with no coordinates is counted in the totals but not placed on the map. Corridors come from the road a source named, as locals say it: I-10, US-101, SR-91. Interstates are split into the stretch north, south, east or west of downtown, since one number for a whole interstate hides where the trouble is. Districts are Riverside County's own five supervisorial districts (2021), from the county's open data. They cover Riverside County only; San Bernardino County has none drawn here yet, so items there are shown on the metro map.
