What it does

Every morning: the 2-day forecast at each flood-prone point (underpasses, low roads), and when heavy rain is coming, instructions from xMap AI to the field teams on WhatsApp and by email.

In one sentence: Every day at 05:00, take your table, get the 2-day weather forecast, keep those where rain (mm) ≥ 15, write a summary of each with xMap AI, then send message in WhatsApp Business, email the list to you and show them on a map.
