Cool. You may want to explain what a Red Flag Warning is and some general details about what that means if you are in a red flag warning zone or not.

I lived in the Bay Area for a while and didn't know. It would also be cool if for entering the address it did autocomplete with valid addresses.

sure, so red flag warning is sort of high fire risk condition, not to evacuate but to get people ready just in case. generally they monitor things like winds, humidity, and something that they call dry fuel (actually a firefighter explained this to me as something fairly critical but no certain way to tell). when the conditions are sort of amenable to creating a fire, they flag the risk with a red flag warning

so if you are in the zone some prep helps, keeping phone charged, car keys handy ...

autocomplete sounds fun, i'll try
