How we got these numbers: These are unique alerts published by Alabama's department of transportation (DOT) feed, from a daily copy taken Oct. 1 through Oct. 31, 2026. Each alert is counted once. An alert posted and removed between two daily copies is not counted. Not all states report the same data, so compare each place with its own earlier months. 1 alert this feed carried for roads in Florida was removed. Florida's own feed carries it. Fire figures are as of Oct. 31, 4 PM Pacific.
