Cache TTL per source:

• NOAA: 5 minutes
• Environment Canada: 10 minutes
• BOM: 15 minutes
• GDACS: 15 minutes

Cache backend: Redis if available, otherwise file-based.

The dashboard displays:

• Total active alerts
• High priority alerts (level 7+/10)
• Affected countries
• Detail table: source, type, severity, urgency, geographic area, priority

Priority is calculated by combining the alert's severity and urgency (scale 1–10).

Force refresh: the ?force=1 parameter bypasses the cache.

• PHP cURL extension — fetching CAP feeds
• PHP SimpleXML extension — XML feed parsing
• Redis (optional) — high-performance cache
