Your Block, This Season

A 12-month prep plan for your exact address driven by the current ENSO cycle — what to do before wildfire season, when to clear gutters, which weeks are likeliest for atmospheric rivers.

Target user

homeowners in the wildfire- and flood-prone parts of the US West and South

Features
  • A monthly-updating checklist for your ZIP code keyed off the NOAA ENSO bulletin
  • A defensible-space score with the three fixes that matter most this season
  • An outdoor-event risk calendar that scores red-flag-smoke vs. washout days for any date
  • Family-ready push alerts when AQI, heat, or rain cross thresholds you choose
Why now

The El Niño forecast is being covered in mainstream outlets because of the destructive wildfire backdrop; people need location-specific prep guidance, not just headline ENSO coverage.

Mainstream coverage of 2026 super El Niño plus wildfire risk is broad (LA Times, DW, AccuWeather, pogodnik) and Google Trends shows 500+ searches for '2026 super el nino forecast', confirming active homeowner-facing interest in ENSO-driven risk.As North America grapples with destructive wildfires, 'super' El Niño ...Wildfire Season 2026: What 43 Years of Fire Data Show About El Niño Summers

Whitespace
7/10

Adjacent apps exist (SeasonKeep, HomeZada, HomeBeacon, FireSmart Canada, HomeWhisper) but none tie a 12-month prep plan explicitly to ENSO cycle phase at an address level — the ENSO-driven angle is genuinely uncontested.Home Maintenance App with a Personalized Schedule | SeasonKeepDownload - FireSmart Canada

Monetization
6/10

Proven willingness to pay at $3.33–$6.67/mo for personalized home maintenance (SeasonKeep Home Plan $39.99/yr, Home Pro $79.99/yr), but the ENSO/wildfire subset is narrower than general home upkeep, capping near-term revenue.Home Maintenance App with a Personalized Schedule | SeasonKeep

Longevity
7/10

ENSO cycles recur every 2–7 years and climate change is raising baseline wildfire/flood risk, so the core need is durable, though headline demand spikes with strong El Niño events rather than staying flat year-round.El Niño & La Niña (El Niño-Southern Oscillation) - NOAA Climate.gov

Feasibility
8/10

NOAA/IRI ENSO data, NWS forecasts, and address geo APIs are all public; an MVP that maps ENSO state + zip code to a 12-month prep checklist is straightforward to build and mirrors existing climate-zone apps.ENSO Forecast Navigation - Columbia UniversityHome Maintenance App with a Personalized Schedule | SeasonKeep
