MoreAlerts, scanner feeds, and what this is

Scanner feeds

Public-safety radio from this stretch of coast that somebody is streaming online, with what each feed carries.

Nobody lists a feed for Freeport, Surfside or Quintana, for La Porte or Baytown, for any Chambers County agency, or for the Coast Guard or the ship channel; the Matagorda County Sheriff and Bay City police are encrypted. Galveston Island’s feed is the fullest on this coast.

Run by volunteers, not by any agency. They play an ad first, run a minute or so behind the radio, and can go quiet without notice; Broadcastify’s page for each one shows whether it is on. Not a way to get help: call 911.
