Documentation

One place that explains every HazardNet surface and every number it shows: what the system publishes, how to read it, and where its limits are.

How the documentation is organized

The documentation is split by topic. Each page is short, factual and linked to the surface it describes. Methods remain research-private: this site publishes results and outputs only.

  • The platform: what HazardNet publishes and a map of every surface.
  • Hazard classes: the eight classes, their seasons and their limits.
  • Districts: the 64-district, 8-division coverage and what a district page shows.
  • Forecasts: the published record, the two severity tracks and the freshness policy.
  • Alerts and advisories: the four levels, the ceiling rule and the official-warning line.
  • Historical archive: the catalogued record since 2000 and its cross-checks.
  • Data and the API: provenance, downloads and the read-only endpoints.
  • Verification: what has been checked, what has not, and what stays private.

Content reviewed 2026-10-05. HazardNet is decision support, not an official warning service — see the methodology for scope and limitations.

HazardNet is not an official warning service. Official warnings come from BMD and FFWC. In an emergency call 999.
