Inspiration
We wanted to improve upon the Amber Alert system.
What it does
Our Weather Alert app is a safety notification platform that effectively utilizes APIs to scan and monitor cities across the United States, warning users of natural disasters and offering safe locations available to evacuate to.
How we built it
Used National Weather Service API as the backbone to direct user and find nearby shelters.
Challenges we ran into
Integrating APIs, creating the API program that translates the information, and using render to continuously update the app.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Creating accessible and easy to use interface for the user.
What we learned
We learned the basics of creating a website and app and how to utilize frameworks.
What's next for National Weather Safety App
Include transportation options and expand beyond the United States.
