16-Year-Old Creates Free Wildfire Risk Checker for California Seniors
Vedant Thakker developed the Red Flag Check app to assess wildfire risks using National Weather Service data. The app categorizes residential areas under red flag warnings into four risk levels, helping residents understand their danger. It is specifically designed to assist older adults in California, who are more vulnerable during wildfires, by teaching them how to use this tool effectively.
