Features

• Live P2000 alerts — real-time emergency dispatch messages from all 25 Dutch safety regions
• Region filtering — switch between regions or view a combined feed of the latest alerts nationwide
• Trauma helicopter map — interactive map showing active trauma helicopter deployments across the Netherlands
• PWA support — installable on mobile (including iOS), works offline via Service Worker
• Auto-refresh — data updates automatically every 30 seconds
