How we produce our data
Every number on a Home Rescue Line data page traces to a named public source. Nothing on those pages is estimated, modeled, or written by a language model — the figures are read directly from the feeds below and rendered as published.
When we cannot read a source, we say so on the page rather than carrying a stale figure forward or filling the gap with a guess.
Sources
- National Weather Service
- Active weather alerts for the metro, read from the National Weather Service public alerts feed. We report the hazard and its severity as issued. Several alerts often cover one metro, so we report the distinct hazards rather than a count of notices.
- EIA hourly grid data
- Regional electricity demand, read from the U.S. Energy Information Administration hourly electric grid monitor. We report the most recent published reading and the hour it covers.
How often it refreshes
We re-read every source every hour and republish a data page when its underlying readings change. A page that has not changed is not republished, so the date on a page is the date its figures last moved — not the last time a job ran.
Written guidance is reviewed separately from the data. Where a page states a cost range or a rule of thumb, it describes typical outcomes and never a quote: prices are set by the independent professional you are connected with.
