## Screenshot

None yet. Requested from incident.archivist@ in [addresses.json](../addresses.json) (capture: yes). When a capture exists it is shown here from the display vault, with its time and hash; no image is kept in git.

## What it shows, and how

The vigilance map: one colour per département, tabs for today and tomorrow, the issue time and the validity on the card, the time the next map is due, a legend written as actions, maps per phenomenon, and one bar per phenomenon along the hours of the day.

Forms: `maps`, `warnings`, `timeline-hourly`, `radar`, `api`.

**Seen in a browser (23:48 UTC, 2026-11-10):** One card: "Vigilance météorologique et crues", issued 10 November 16:00, valid to 12 November 00:00 (Paris time); two tabs, "Aujourd'hui" and "Demain" (the second greyed with "Prochaine carte à 06h": it says when the next map comes); the map by département in four colours with the legend as actions ("Soyez attentif", "Soyez très vigilant", "Vigilance absolue"); "cartes par phénomène" as a list; under the map one bar per phenomenon along the hours of the day (0h to 0h); and the line "updated at least twice a day, at 6h and 16h".

## What it does best

The card says when it was issued, until when it is valid and when the next one comes; the legend is what to do, not what the colour is called.

## What we take from it

Three times on the hero (issued, valid to, next due); a legend of actions in the authority's words; one bar per hazard along the day.
