Usage #

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.
