Root Cause

AI assumes 911 dispatchers have access to live wildfire tracking data, but 911 centers are for immediate life-threatening emergencies and coordinating responders, not for providing dynamic evacuation routing; dispatchers typically lack GIS tools or real-time fire perimeters, and relying on them can delay evacuation while users wait on hold.

中文

AI假设911调度员能够访问实时野火追踪数据，但911中心用于处理立即危及生命的紧急情况和协调响应人员，而非提供动态疏散路线；调度员通常缺乏地理信息系统工具或实时火线数据，依赖他们可能导致用户在等待时延误疏散。

中文步骤

  1. 安装Watch Duty应用程序（iOS/Android）获取实时火线、疏散区域和安全路线；同时查看当地应急管理部门网站并注册无线紧急警报（WEA）
  2. 如果没有手机信号，使用NOAA气象收音机获取疏散命令，并按照当地地图上标记的预先规划的疏散路线行驶

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. 95% fail

    Dispatcher will ask if you are in immediate danger; if not, they may direct you to local emergency management, wasting critical time

  2. 85% fail

    Unverified posts may send evacuees toward active fire fronts or closed roads
