← Back to Dashboard System Status Linn Demo Report Polk Demo Report

What this beta is intended to test

County Mode

Confirm selected-county behavior across Iowa counties: map focus, county label, weather tile, report scope, and alert context.

Situational Awareness

Review the dashboard as an EOC display: current weather, warning/radar context, county alerts, river gauge summaries, and report links.

Reporting

Validate HTML and PDF weather event logs for quiet counties, active/current views, and event-rich historical/demo packets.

Suggested county test cases

Quick beta checklist

Pass: Dashboard loads for the selected county.
Pass: County name and UGC match the selected county.
Pass: Current report opens as HTML and exports as PDF.
Pass: Event-rich demo reports open for Linn and Polk.
Watch: Historical/report links are beta-grade review aids, not official records.
Do not use as sole authority: Official NWS products, local policy, and agency systems remain authoritative.

Local QA commands

From the application directory:

./report-qa-thunderboard-6.sh

Beta feedback requested

Feedback should focus on county behavior, operational usefulness, confusing labels, report readability, missing features, and anything that would make THUNDERBOARD harder to use during EOC monitoring.
