About this work

Independent researchThese dashboards are developed as part of independent research on fire weather and hillside hazards, and are shared with the people who can use them.
Built for the fieldEach is a single page that works on a phone, needs no app or login beyond a shared password, and shows how to read every gauge.
Public dataData comes from the National Weather Service, Synoptic Data PBC, ALERTCalifornia and other public sources, credited on each dashboard.
Situational awareness only. Nothing on this site is an official document or an order. Guidelines and watch outs are shared for reference and awareness.
