Stormwise combines live rain forecasts, terrain, catchment discharge, curated flood hotspots, and a household's actual commute into a single risk view. The same storm has different consequences for a high-floor apartment, a ground-floor home, and a two-wheeler route through an underpass; the product models that difference.

The risk path uses OSRM routing, segment-level elevation, Open-Meteo forecasts, Copernicus GloFAS discharge signals, MapLibre, and curated Bengaluru context. Gemini-backed plans and checklists are held to strict Zod contracts; the live risk dashboard does not depend on Gemini.

Onboarding is local-first, multilingual, and account-free. The current build is decision support rather than an emergency authority or a parcel-level inundation model, and its interface makes that boundary visible.
