Is Watch Duty primarily “out West” or is it available across the whole US?

Their map shows the area of coverage

Texas and Oklahoma appear to be the further East for now

@Nrussell88 may be able to provide insight into future coverage areas, and I would think (read: rampantly speculate) that expansion might take significant resources (building out a local-ish team of volunteers, integrating technological resources that may/may not exist back east, etc) and is likely not the quickest or easiest of undertakings to implement.

It also stands to reason that expansion into un- and under-served areas could be significantly easier with a grassroots effort and a group of dedicated potential reporters up and ready to go… but, again, I don’t know any of this to be true.

I do know that the Watch Duty team is working hard to deliver an outstanding resource for the areas that are currently served…
