Heavy rain at our camps and settlements
A rain alert for each camp, every six hours, on WhatsApp.
What it does
Every six hours in the rainy season: the rain forecast at each camp or settlement in your table, the ones expecting heavy rain first, with an alert by xMap AI for the field teams on WhatsApp.
In one sentence: Every 6 hours at :00, take your table, get the 3-day weather forecast, sort them by rain_total_mm and keep the top 10, write a summary of each with xMap AI, then send message in WhatsApp Business and email the list to you.
Why it is useful
Heavy rain floods shelters within hours. A warning with what to secure gives field teams time to act.
