Score: 6.3/10 (Innovation: 5, Technical: 6, Documentation: 7, Utility: 7)

A web tool and public REST API that checks if a specific East Bay address is inside an active Red Flag Warning zone, providing clear yes/no verdicts, evacuation zones, and action checklists. Built quickly by a high schooler during a real emergency, it fills a practical gap between county-wide alerts and hyper-local risk awareness, with a focus on usability and integration for schools, news, and emergency services.

Target audience: backend devs, devops, data engineers
