Safety & Help

🏠 My Weather (home page)

1. Choose your place. Tap Use my location (your browser will ask permission) or type a town, city, village or even coordinates like 28.16, 85.34. Suggestions appear as you type.
2. Read the big status card. SAFE nothing to worry about · WATCH keep an eye on it · WARNING get ready · DANGER act now.
3. Follow "What you should do". Simple steps written for the current situation.
4. Look at the map. Real rain radar from the last two hours is drawn over the map (RainViewer). Press ▶ to animate it. Your place is the marker.
5. Next hours & next days. Colour-coded timeline so you can plan.
6. Save places. Star a place to keep it on your device (no sign-up). Switch between home, work, family.
7. Report what you see. Tell others it's flooding, hailing, etc. Reports within ~50 km appear for everyone.
8. Share. The share button copies a link that opens this exact place.

📱 SMS & phone-call alerts (account)

1. Create a free account at /login — first name, email, password and your mobile number with country code.
2. On My alerts, add the places you care about (home, work, family). Choose when to be warned: Watch (yellow), Warning (amber) or Danger (red) only.
3. Pick SMS, phone call or both. Calls read the warning aloud and by default are made only for Danger. Optional quiet hours silence non-critical alerts at night — Danger always gets through.
4. Press Send test SMS / Make test call to confirm your number works, or Run a drill to receive the exact message a real warning would use.
5. ResiliNet re-checks every place every 10 minutes. When the risk rises past your threshold you get a message; when it drops back to safe you get an "all clear". The same level is repeated at most every 90 minutes.

Every message and call is listed under Messages & calls. If the server has no SMS gateway configured you will see RECORDED (DEMO) — the logic is identical, only the final delivery is skipped.

🛰️ Expert Console

The professional screen used by disaster-management operators — it also works on phones (panels stack vertically). Everything you see there:

• Location bar — same search / GPS as the home page. Radar, map, hazards and forecast switch to that place instantly.
• KPIs — quick numbers: live risk, rain rate, gusts, storm energy, river flow vs normal, alerts.
• Live Radar map — real RainViewer radar tiles on an OpenStreetMap base, with an animation slider.
• Hazard breakdown — flood / storm / wind / rain probabilities computed from the forecast.
• Nowcast timeline — rain and gust forecast for the next 12 hours.
• Alerts feed — live alerts recorded for places people have checked, plus operator alerts.
• Dispatch console — simulates sending warnings via Cell Broadcast, SMS, BLE mesh and app push (nothing is actually sent).
• Training scenario — a switch that loads the Langtang (Nepal) flash-flood exercise with simulated sensors, AI-ensemble panel and village register. It is clearly labelled SCENARIO so nobody mistakes it for real data.
• Zones & Audit — village risk register (scenario), current observation, operator audit trail and dispatch history.
• Export — download the whole incident as JSON.

📡 Where the data comes from

• Weather forecast — Open-Meteo, blending ECMWF, GFS, ICON and national models; 15-minute resolution where available.
• River flow — Open-Meteo Flood API (GloFAS), compared to the long-term average for that river.
• Rain radar — RainViewer composite of national radar networks.
• Maps — © OpenStreetMap contributors, via Leaflet.
• Places — Open-Meteo geocoding & BigDataCloud reverse geocoding.

Risk levels are computed by ResiliNet from rain rate, accumulated rain, storm energy (CAPE), wind gusts and river flow. Forecasts are refreshed every 10 minutes.
