Red Strong Wind Warning — Pomorskie Province, Poland — Contact-Center Footprint at Risk

Polish meteorological authorities have issued a Red-level strong wind warning for Pomorskie Province (Pucki County), the highest warning tier, with alerts flagged across both the Katowice and Lodz monitoring nodes. While Lodz itself hosts approximately 8,000 contact-center seats, the warning covers northern Poland and could affect commuting, power stability, and site access at hubs across the country depending on storm track. Operations leaders with Polish delivery footprints — particularly in Warsaw, Krakow, Wroclaw, and Lodz — should verify contingency protocols, remote-work fallback capacity, and BCP readiness with local site managers.

Why declareddeclareHybrid
Incident declaration (deterministic floor + LLM relevance gate)v1
DECLARE when deterministicFloor AND (llm.declare OR acuteWeatherFloor) AND NOT aggregateTitle, and no open same-domain incident merges it. deterministicFloor = maxSeverity>=8 AND (newsScore>=1 OR bpoScore>=1 OR acuteWeatherFloor). acuteWeatherFloor = maxSeverity>=9 AND any signal is an acute severe-weather WARNING (tornado/severe-thunderstorm/flash-flood) — overrides the LLM footprint-based suppression. aggregateTitle (grab-bag "Multiple/Several/Various…") is refused (agents-019 §D). Asset-class deny (military/war-zone, WFM-37) suppresses earlier. cyberFloor disabled (agents-009 hotfix).

llm rationale
Declaring true: Red-level (highest tier) wind warning in a country with confirmed ~8,000 contact-center seats; severity warrants operations-leader attention despite no exact hub-city match, as national storm systems can affect staffing and power across multiple Polish sites.

Why SEV2SEV2score 2Deterministic
Incident severity level (SEV1–SEV4) at declarationv1
Base: SEV2 if sev>=9 AND news>=2 AND bpo>=1; else SEV3 if sev>=8 AND (news>=1 OR bpo>=1); else SEV4. Acute severe-weather (agents-028): if sev>=9 floor to SEV3 (SEV2→SEV3); minor/transient watches+advisories drop SEV2/SEV3→SEV4. Single-event cap: any SEV2 caps to SEV3 absent sustained multi-day BPO-region corroboration (SEV2 promotion is human-gated via revalidation). score = numeric SEV (1=most severe … 4); SEV3/SEV4 auto-validate, SEV1/SEV2 require human validation.
