        <potential_impact><![CDATA[<p>Develop a ServiceNow app called <strong>HeatAlert</strong> that:<br />Integrates with weather APIs to monitor temperature and humidity levels.<br />Sends automated alerts when heat indexes exceed safe thresholds.<br />Provides users with safety tips, nearest cooling centers, and hydration reminders.<br />Offers a dashboard for local authorities to coordinate heatwave response efforts.</p>]]></potential_impact>
        <problem_statement>In many regions, rising global temperatures are causing extreme heatwaves. People, especially the elderly, outdoor workers, and children often lack timely warnings or information on safety measures. This leads to health issues such as heat exhaustion, dehydration, and even fatalities.</problem_statement>
