I'm not at all sure this "emergencies" usage of Blitzortung data is appropriate... since there is an implication of 'official' implied in context, even though the stated intent may seem plausible.
remember:
"
Blitzortung.org" is not an official authority for lightning or thunderstorm data. The data shown on our website is provided only for private and entertainment purposes. The project "Blitzortung.org" is for the contributors merely a voluntary leisure activity.
It is not allowed to use our lightning data for storm warning systems, for plausibility checks of overvoltage damages, or risk analysis for precautionary protection of high-quality technology, even if the data are not obtained directly from our site but from third-party websites.
"
Strongly suggest poster pursue 'official', recognized sources rather than risk possible liability. Blitzortung is a hobbyist classification, not a 'free ride' that implies warnings or accuracy to any app end-user, simply to obtain 'free' data.
