1. Introduction

Tohuvavohu et al. (GCN Circ. 31006) reported the GRB detection. Swift/BAT did not trigger on GRB 211024A (T0: 2021-10-24T01:34:11.4 UTC, Fermi/GBM trigger # 656732056, GCN Circ. 30962), also detected by GECAM-B (GCN Circ. 30974). Table 1 contains the best reported positions from Swift.

Table 2 is a summary of GCN Circulars about this GRB from observatories other than Swift.

2. BAT Observations and Analysis

BAT refined results are not available.

3. XRT Observations and Analysis

Analysis of the initial XRT data was reported by Kumar et al. (GCN Circ. 31017).

4. UVOT Observations and Analysis

UVOT results are not available.
