Details

Built as a mobile regional climate-intelligence product for scanning drought, wildfire, heat, and water-stress conditions across Southern California.

Uses satellite-style terrain and county boundary context to keep regional climate overlays grounded in recognizable geography.

Includes drought intensity views with severity scores, water-demand pressure, long-term comparisons, and county-level indicators.

Includes wildfire risk views focused on foothills, backcountry zones, vegetation stress, fire-risk deltas, and exposure severity.

Includes heat exposure views showing temperature anomaly, urban heat burden, shade-baseline differences, and comparative risk across major metro areas.

Supports compact mobile cards and map overlays that make climate indicators scannable without overwhelming the small-screen map.

Uses AI-assisted regional summaries to explain what is driving risk changes, which counties need attention, and how drought, heat, and wildfire exposure interact.

Designed for planning, emergency preparedness, environmental review, and communication workflows where climate risk needs to be clear on a phone.

Connects spatial layers, climate indicators, and regional trend analysis into a single app instead of separate drought, fire, and heat dashboards.
