<h5>Alert Definition</h5>
<p className="about-disclaimer-text">
The word "Alert", when used by and in relation to this application, and
all associated messages and notifications, means a forwarded status
notification that the information received by the Texas Water
Development Board, TNRIS, and this software indicates a condition of
significance (as defined by the data source itself) is potentially
occuring on a flood gage. The forwarded information is a broadcasted
status of the mechanical gages maintained by outside parties and does
not mean any flooding is occurring by any standard other than that as
defined by the gage owner and data source.{" "}
<strong>
This does not mean alerts should not be taken seriously.
</strong>
</p>
<h5>Flood Gages</h5>
<p className="about-disclaimer-text">
The data presented in this application is collected from both public and
private contributors.  Flood gage readings are acquired from the
National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration's National Weather Service
(NOAA NWS). The data within this application is pulled directly from
NOAA's database and displayed within this application. The viewer
refreshes the flood gage data from NOAA every 5 minutes; however, NOAA
may take up to one hour for their gages to officially update.
<br />
<br />
Flood gages are symbolized within the map by their water levels and
flood stages as designated by the data source. Flood gages may
inconsistently contain predictive water level and flood stage
information. If a flood gage does contain predictive information and
this information signifies a potentially dangerous level, the highest
predicted flood stage level will be symbolized on the gage point as a
halo colored to represent said stage. These potentially dangerous levels
are designated as Action, Minor, Moderate, and Major flood stages.
</p>
<h5>Weather Radar</h5>
<p className="about-disclaimer-text">
The data is acquired from the Aeris Maps Platform (AMP). This is a
national dataset displaying rain, snow, and ice precipitation in decibel
relative to Z (dBZ) units. By default, the Weather Radar layer displays
the most recent still radar. By pressing the “PLAY” button in the bottom
left corner of the map, the layer will animate, cycling through 5 still
radar captures spanning approximately 4 hours and 10 minutes at
approximately 50 minute intervals. The application refreshes the weather
radar data from the AMP every 6 minutes. This is the same interval Aeris
updates the radar data. For more information on the Weather Radar,
please visit the{" "}
<a href="https://www.aerisweather.com" target="_blank">
Aeris Weather Website
</a>
.
</p>
<h5>Weather Alerts</h5>
<p className="about-disclaimer-text">
The data is acquired from the Aeris Weather application programming
interface (API). This is a national dataset of all active US advisories
issued by the NWS, which issues a variety of severe weather warnings,
watches, advisories, and statements that may be issued for a single
forecast zone or county, or for a large region. The application
refreshes the weather alerts data from the Aeris Weather API every 1
minute. For more information on the Weather Alerts, please visit the{" "}
<a href="https://www.aerisweather.com" target="_blank">
Aeris Weather Website
</a>
.
</p>
<h5>Lake Conditions</h5>
<p className="about-disclaimer-text">
The data is acquired from the Texas Water Development Board's Water Data
for Texas (WDFT) project. This is a Texas statewide dataset displaying
current lake water storage levels as part of a graphical display
including storage levels up to 13 months before the current date. The
application refreshes the weather alerts data from the WDFT database
every 30 minutes. For more information on the Lake Conditions, please
visit the{" "}

</p>
<h5>Gage Notifications (Alert Subscriptions)</h5>
<p className="about-disclaimer-text">
The viewer provides the ability for users to “subscribe” to flood gages
to receive alerts when gage readings are currently at or predicted by
the gage reading source to enter potentially dangerous levels. These
potentially dangerous levels are designated as Action, Minor, Moderate,
and Major flood stages. Users may subscribe to any gage to receive
alerts via a Short Message Service (SMS) text message. Users can
subscribe to multiple gages by subscribing to each gage individually.
</p>
<p className="about-disclaimer-text">
(Note: The Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) maintains a strict{" "}
<a
href="http://www.twdb.texas.gov/policies/site/index.asp"
target="_blank"
>
privacy policy
</a>{" "}
and will not utilize user contact information for any purpose other than
that for which the user has signed up.)
</p>
<p className="about-disclaimer-text">
To unsubscribe from alerts, click the “MY GAGE ALERTS” button within the
left panel of the application. This will open the subscription
management dialog where the user can review all the gages they are
currently subscribed to. The user can modify or remove any subscription
they no longer wish to receive. Subscriptions and alert messages are
managed by Amazon Web Services (AWS). 
</p>
<p className="about-disclaimer-text">
Users can elect to receive either <b>current</b> stage change alerts
and/or <b>predictive</b> stage alerts (by default, both are enabled on
all user accounts). Users can alter which alerts their account will
receive by logging into their account within the application and
clicking 'Settings' at the bottom of their subscription list. They can
then toggle each alert type switch and save to update their account.
Changing this setting will immediately update the alerts sent for the
gages they are presently subscribed to and all new gage subscriptions
added in the future.
<br />
<br />
The status of these alert type settings are represented both in the
user's subscription list and in the new subscription dialogue window as
two circular badges. The badge for the current alert setting contains a
'C' while the badge for the predictive alert settings contains a 'P'.
Each will be blue when enabled and gray when disabled.
</p>
<h6>CURRENT:</h6>
<p className="about-disclaimer-text">
A single alert is sent out for each individual gage when it enters one
of the potentially dangerous flood stages mentioned above. As water
levels continue to change during a weather event, single alerts will
continue to be sent out as a gage transitions through the various stage
levels.
</p>
<h6>PREDICTIVE:</h6>
<p className="about-disclaimer-text">
Predictive flood gage information is inconsistently provided for various
gages based on the gage's current stage, weather events, and the
physical ability for each gage to generate this data. When a gage
receives a new set of predictive data, a single alert is sent out
notifying the highest predicted flood stage expected to be reached for
that gage (if the highest predicted flood stage is one of the
potentially dangerous stages mentioned above). As water levels continue
to change and new predictive data is acquired, single alerts will
continue to be sent out the latest highest predicted flood stage but
only if the latest highest predicted flood stage is a higher stage than
the one previously alerted.
