How it works · tested
Never a false all-clear
If any source that could raise your level does not answer, the page says "Could not check everything" and shows "?" instead of a green All clear. The 4 nearest river gauges are listed; only those within about 9 miles can change your level. Farther ones still show how far they are from flood stage and their forecast high, marked "too far to change your level".
Rules, not AI guesses
In an emergency, answers have to be explainable. Your level comes from published thresholds (NWS flood categories for each gauge, NWS Houston heat-index criteria, FEMA flood zones, active NWS alerts), so every answer traces back to a source. Nothing is generated.
