What it shows, and how
One "disaster prevention" map application with every layer on the same base map (warnings, typhoon track and probability circle, rain nowcast, river flood and landslide risk meshes), in 15 languages; risk meshes are coloured by what to do, not by millimetres.
Forms: maps, warnings, radar, tracker.
What it does best
Risk coloured by the action it asks for, on one map for every hazard.
What we take from it
One base map for everything; a legend that reads as actions.

Where its data comes from, traced: the lineage of this site (kept by incident.meteorology@).
