Inspiration
The US currently has detailed risk assessments for natural disasters based on location, but these tools aren't available globally, so we decided to make some.
What it does
Currently it gives an assessment on risk of earthquakes based on proximity to nearby severe earthquakes in the past 120 years
How we built it
We built the project using JavaScript, using some React functions on the frontend and Express on the backend.
Challenges we ran into
It was tough coming up with an idea that was both possible to do and unique, and once we started, it was difficult to effectively use React.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We're proud of getting this web app mostly functional
What we learned
We learned how to develop a full stack web app using JavaScript
What's next for Risk of Bad Things
We plan on potentially expanding our project to other natural disasters such as hurricanes, tornadoes, and floods
