Fire map

Inspiration

LA wildfires and what caused them. I wanted to see if there was a program that could easily find wildfire data from any city and have a visual representation of the risk.

What it does

Gives the fire risk of a given city and visually shows it on a map. There are color codes based on low risk, medium risk, high risk, and very high risk.

How we built it

Using openweather to find city data, I calculated the risk of fires and then made a folium to visually plot the cities and their respective fire risk.

Challenges we ran into

Getting city boundaries into folium and mapping it out.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Getting a working folium map.

What we learned

How to implement data on a world map and how to edit it.

What's next for Fire map

Making a 15 day forecast, and also predicting fires with past data using AI.
