Features

• Colored Voronoi area polygons per location — adjacent same-colored areas merge into contiguous zones
• Timeline slider to scrub through the last ~1–2 hours of alert history
• Sound alerts — optional audio notifications for new alerts (muted by default, toggle via 🔇)
• Click any area to see its alert history
• About modal — click ⓘ or the title for info and disclaimer

Color	Meaning
🔴 Red	Rocket/missile fire
🟣 Purple	Drone/aircraft infiltration
🟡 Yellow	Early warning / preparedness — go near your shelter, sirens may follow
🟢 Green	Event ended (fades out after 1 minute)

Development

./web-dev        # start dev server at http://localhost:8788

Requires Node.js and npx (comes with npm). Uses Wrangler to serve web/ and run the API proxy functions locally.

The polygon data file (locations_polygons.json) is not in the repo — ./web-dev downloads it automatically from the live site if missing.

Deploy

Deployed to Cloudflare Pages (static assets + TLV proxy):

./deploy

The fallback Worker (for non-TLV users) is deployed separately:

cd worker && npx wrangler deploy
