Introducing Multi-Hazard Community Alerts

We're excited to announce multi-hazard community alerts across Blaze Sentry. To be precise: new incident reports come from the Blaze Sentry app and flow into the Sentry Dashboard, where teams monitor and coordinate response.

What's New

The Blaze Sentry app now supports reporting and tracking multiple hazard types:

• Severe weather — Report tornado sightings, thunderstorm damage, and extreme heat conditions in your area.
• Flooding — Share flash flood observations, rising water levels, and coastal storm surge impacts.
• Seismic activity — Report felt earthquakes and observed damage in your community.
• Fires — Alert your neighbors to active fires, smoke conditions, and evacuation situations.

Alert Severity Levels

All community alerts use the same three-tier severity model in both the app and dashboard:

• High — Immediate threat to populated areas. Take action now.
• Medium — Active event with potential to affect communities.
• Low — Event observed but currently contained or limited in impact.

What the Sentry Dashboard Does Today

The Sentry Dashboard is built for situational awareness and team coordination. Teams can:

• Monitor live activity — View active alerts, high-severity counts, and recent reports in the Overview.
• Filter and triage alerts — Search and filter by severity, type, date, and status in the Alerts view.
• See incidents on a map — Filter geospatially by severity, type, and region in the Map view.
• Analyze trends — Track totals, severity mix, resolution trends, and export CSV from Reports.
• Manage team + email preferences — Configure email alerts, high-severity-only mode, daily digest, weekly report, and team updates.

In short: the app is where incidents are reported, and the dashboard is where teams monitor, analyze, and coordinate around those incoming alerts.
