## What is SalvaGrandine?

When hail starts falling you have minutes to get your car under a roof. SalvaGrandine is the hail shelter map: covered car parks, fuel station canopies and car washes near you, with turn-by-turn navigation two taps away. And when the radar shows hail is likely around your town, you get a notification.

HOW IT WORKS
• Open the app: the map is already centered on you, shelters all around.
• Tap a shelter to see the type, how many cars fit and whether it is open 24h.
• Tap Navigate: turn-by-turn starts right away in your phone's map app.
• Prefer a list? One tap shows the closest shelters, sorted by distance.
From launch to navigation: two taps.

HAIL ALERTS
• Pick the town you want to watch.
• The Protezione Civile radar is checked every 5 minutes.
• When hail is likely nearby, you get a notification and the map shows you where.
• Alerts cover Italian towns (the radar covers Italy); the shelter map works anywhere.
No vague forecasts: the alert fires when hail is likely in the area, so you know where to go right away.

A MAP BUILT BY THE COMMUNITY
• Thousands of shelters already on the map across Italy, from public data.
• Know a canopy or a covered car park? Add it in under two minutes.
• Community reports remove shelters that no longer exist.
• Sign your shelters with a nickname if you like: no account, no registration.

SAFETY FIRST
Never overpasses, never underpasses: stopping there is illegal and dangerous, and you will never find them on SalvaGrandine. Only real shelters: covered car parks, canopies, car washes.

FREE, NO STRINGS
• Free, no ads, no in-app purchases.
• No account: open it and it works.
• Your location stays on your phone and is never shared.

WHO IT IS FOR
Anyone who parks on the street, anyone with a new car and no garage, anyone driving across Northern Italy in summer, camper owners. If hail has cost you a repair bill before, you know why this app exists.
