Inspiration
With the California wildfires being a prominent problem in the US, we were inspired to solve this problem by creating an app that predicts the risk of wildfires, as homeowners and residents can make quick decisions regarding their safety and to conduct prevention techniques.
What it does
Our app shows the high risk areas in California for wildfires, including the chances of smoke appearing in different counties. Along with this, it shows weather information about the counties, including humidity, temperature, wind, precipitation, and more.
How we built it
First we found environmental datasets to train machine learning models to predict wildfires and smoke. Then, we used flask to obtain information from the user and to create the backend of the app. We found apis to obtain data for all the counties in California to input into the models to obtain the probabilities of wildfires and smoke.
Challenges we ran into
Some challenges included finding proper datasets, integrating flask with our machine learning models, integrating the backend with the front end.
