California Gateway is a free public-interest dashboard for the State of California, aggregating live weather, transportation, environment, economy, public-health, and news data from 20+ authoritative state and federal sources into a single editorial view that refreshes every 5 minutes.
California Gateway pulls together every public-data feed California residents actually need into one calm, editorial-style desktop. The homepage is the executive view: active National Weather Service warnings, current air quality across major cities, state DOT roadwork and traffic incidents, NIFC wildfires, USGS river-gauge readings, power-outage counts, and trending news headlines — all updated continuously and visible together. From here you can jump to topic-specific deep dives:
Each topic page expands the corresponding homepage section into a richer view with deeper context, methodology notes, and source attribution.
