Heavy rain hour by hour: stormwater crews on standby
When the heaviest rain hits, with a standby plan for stormwater crews.
What it does
Every hour on rainy days: the rain expected in the next hours, the heaviest first, with a standby plan by xMap AI for sewer and stormwater crews, sent to the duty manager on WhatsApp.
In one sentence: Every hour at :00, in Manila, get the 1-day weather forecast, sort them by rain_mm and keep the top 4, write a report with xMap AI, then send message in WhatsApp Business and email the list to you.
Why it is useful
Flooded streets come from blocked drains in heavy rain. Crews on standby at the right hour prevent it.
