DOC independent / proxy parameters — not a radiosonde, not NWS guidance, not RAP/HRRR model-grid data. Do not use for operational severe decisions without official SPC/NWS products.
SPC / alert context
Active point alerts: 1
Empty alert sets are correct when no watches/warnings are in effect. Always verify on SPC and local NWS.
FIRMS wildfire enrichment

NASA Earth Observatory — Natural HazardsFire weather
FIRMS hotspots and fire-weather context via DOC enrichments. Link to NASA FIRMS / Worldview for imagery.
Open official resourceSpace weather
Optional NASA space-weather module when NASA_API_KEY is configured. Core forecast does not depend on it.
Open official resourceHurricanes / tropical
National Hurricane Center products remain authoritative. DOC surfaces NWS alerts when tropical watches/warnings are active for the point.
Open official resourceEarthquakes / tsunamis
USGS and tsunami warning centers are the source of truth. CHEWI aggregates awareness links and future multi-hazard feeds.
